Thursdays - Let's Get Moving

Spring is in full force and with it comes the weather that just beckons our involvement in some outdoor activity.

Last Saturday when I woke up to the sun shining through my window the plan was to get myself out into the bush and take some pictures.  I know a spot where I can get in a fairly easy walk.  There are bears and hawks I could take some photos of in the same area.  I thought I would give the vehicle a wash before heading out.



“What the heck was I thinking?!”
By the time I got out of the shower I was so exhausted I needed to take a nap.  All I could do was laugh at myself. I still do not have a handle on what my energy level can manage. Right now, I am clearly an over achiever in the making.
“This calls for plan B!”
I ended up resting for about 45 minutes and then called my friend, Val.  I headed off to her place to wash my vehicle (with Val’s help, of course).  I was exhausted before we even finished.
In the end, I was able to complete the task.  Granted it took me about 4x the amount of time it would take for the average person, but I was able to complete it and the vehicle looked great!  Oh yes…honorable mention for doing half of the work…my gal pal, Val.



I got some fresh air, some exercise, my heart rate up, and a clean vehicle out of the deal.
Although I am not running on the same horse power these days as I did 4 months ago, I still need to give myself a gentle pat on the back when I am able to achieve even the smallest of tasks. In the end it was good to be out in the sun and fresh air.

Enjoy the sunshine!
