The weather is warming up, that makes it more of a challenge to get outside. I realize it has not yet been 3 weeks, but there are times that I start feeling incredibly claustrophobic. I miss being outside, I miss sitting in the sun, feeling the warmth on my skin, the breeze in my hair.
I am so lucky that friends and family who have been taking care of me will help me get outdoors, even if only for 5 minutes. I have a little scooter that I can self-propel and away I go; leg propped up, pushing my self along, water bottle in the basket. I am not getting anywhere quickly, but I am getting somewhere.
Today was even more of an adventure; the distance to the fire pit is at least twice that from the distance to the courtyard near our loft.
Amazing that any little change in scenery helps my spirit; so my sister and I headed to the fire pit. Down the elevator, through the hallway, out the door and there we were. We quickly discovered that the only way I was actually comfortable was to lay flat on my back with my leg propped up.
Wow. It was as if I could breath, just breath. To lay on my back, watch the clouds go by, listen to the trains and planes. Wonderful, just wonderful
I now have a second place I can go when I need to get out of the house, how fabulously exciting!
