A happy update from me

Dear SR family and my beloved Dee

I just wanted to update you all.
At the start of the lock down here in the UK, I really worried about my mental health.
I couldn't see how I would get through it.
I wouldn't drink I don't think.
It was living with the self hatred thought 24/7.

Anyway I have started walking everyday.
I set myself a target everyday and off I go.
I track my journey with an online app thing on my phone.
Each walk a give a different name.

I'm not fast by any means.
Just a steady pace.
I feel really good when I am approaching my last few steps near home.
When I get in, its a relief to be home.
I enjoy being back.

I feel really proud when I look at my route and the stats.
I've never done this before as in had a daily exercise.
It's only being in lockdown that has given me the opportunity to do this.
I am grateful for the opportunity.
Something good out of something bad I guess.

Ive had bleeding toes and wobbly legs.
However every night I go to bed I fall asleep smiling looking forward to the next day when I can walk and make myself proud again.

I don't want any more death and illness from Covid 19 but I don't want to go back to normal.
I like this normal that I have now.

Anyway thats enough rambling from me.

I love everyone here and wish everyone the best
xx
