STILL WALKING:
Last Wednesday I stopped my isolation,
And took my first steps outside.
I made it to the bottom of the road,
My happiness I couldn't hide.
Since then I have walked around the block,
Each and every day.
I am gradually looking forward to it.
That's what I'd like to say.
My aim is to get to the hairdressers
In just over four weeks.
So this week will go a few streets futher,
So that hair appointment I will keep.
I didn't realise what a simple walk could do.
So many things one takes for granted .
It's also good for your health,
It certainly gets you panting.
More Lockdown restrictions have been eased
More to come in a few weeks.
I hope all goes according to plan,
As much happiness is what we all seek.
Have a good new week.
May your lives be full of joy,
When I'm not walking around the block,
I'll be listening to Danny Boy.

Walking is so good for the body, the heart, and the soul. You just keep walking.
ReplyDeleteThank you Diane will take heed to your advice.

Glad you're still enjoying your walks and getting outside. I love my daily walks and try to get one in every day before it gets too hot. Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Natalie, it is quite hot here today so will go out when it cools down.
DeleteTake care.
Yvonne.
each block is that much more freedom. And fresh air just lifts the spirits. Glad you are venturing out carefully. Enjoy. Happy Monday
ReplyDeleteIt was a painful walk today but still proceeded to go.
DeleteThanks for your kind words Joanne.
Yvonne.
Good for you! I'm going to my hair dresser soon as well. Exciting! Enjoy those walks and the song!! :)

Thank you Betty, it was hard today because back pain was playing up......but made it,
DeleteEnjoy this new week.
Yvonne.
I am so happy for you now that you're getting outside and taking your walks.I can picture the smile on your face as you bereathe in the fresh ocean air. I hope to start walking again when the temperature drops down below 100. Have a super week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Beverly, it is nice to get out again but the government is bringing gloom and doom on the scene again after easing many restrictions. I wish I was politically minded.
DeleteStay safe and well especially in the hot weather.

That's wonderful, Yvonne! It's amazing how suddenly something as simple as a walk was taken away. We do such things without thinking, never imagining that a simple walk would be denied us. Just be careful, my friend. Wear a mask, wash your hands. Things are going in the wrong direction here. I fear it will be a quite a while before I can risk a trip to the hairdresser. Terry promised me an ocean/beach a year when we were first married. This is the first time we won't be able to visit one. I shall think of you walking along the beach ~ enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI am getting second thoughts about the hairdressers but will wait and see what happens a bit nearer my appointment.
DeleteSorry you have to miss your ocean/beach.
Take care.
Yvonne.
Waiting and seeing what happens is a wise choice, Yvonne. I'm living with a two-tones ponytail ~ LOL
DeleteThe white is overtaking the brown now.....lol but still don't know whether to keep the hair appointment.
