After losing my closest friend last year I hadn't felt like going for a walk on my own. Yesterday I woke up with the urge to get out for a walk. And that's exactly what I did. Then this morning I went for another walk. Though it's not the same without Marian I think I'll start walking every day again. And it looks like I could certainly use the exercise. Our ceilidh friends sent me a little video clip from Friday's ceilidh. Crikey I've piled on the pounds. I do always look big next to Tony as he's shorter than me but I think I'll trade him in for a taller bloke just to make me look slimmer. 😃 😊
I can relate to losing motivation for doing something you used to love after a hard loss. I hope walking becomes a positive memory with the added health benefits.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam. I just couldn't face going for a walk without Marian. I still can't believe that she's gone. It'll be a year next month.
DeleteI can understand not walking and then also, being ready and getting back to it. Thank you for sharing that with us and I'm sorry you lost your dear friend.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Marian was closer than my own family to me and it breaks my heart that she's no longer here. Tony and I have so many lovely memories of Marian.

DeleteGetting out for a walk is easier with lighter nights and better weather, but it must be difficult without your friend. Xx
ReplyDeleteI prefer an early morning walk. Marian and I used to walk at 7am or earlier every day.
DeleteI imagine it's quite hard going on your own and missing your friend. Hopefully, you'll have good thoughts of her while you walk and remember the good times you shared together.
ReplyDeleteIt's no fun walking without her. She had so much zest for life and was great company.
