Seasonal Shifts

When I looked out the window this morning, there seemed to be a little sun but when I left for work all I could see was that gray gloom that’s been sapping my motivation. It was dark by the time I got out for a walk. I did manage to get a 30 minute walk in though, which lifted my spirits. By doing so I defied my little negative voice that was sure I was going to let my good walking streak die a wintry death. (I have to giggle every time I use that word here in SoCal. Winter. ::giggle::) I’m still trying to convince myself that morning walks are a good idea. So far I’m not convinced. It’s hard to get going in the morning when you are a night owl. Even more so when you have a Fibro brain that’s prone to fogginess and an achy body that needs to warm up in the morning before you get going. Late afternoon walks worked so much better for me. Oh well, I’ll figure out the right strategy to get morning walks to become a reality.
