Day 128: being able to go outside

Hi again,
Today I am thankful for something that I was unable to do today which reminded me how thankful I am for it. Today I was unable to go outside much because the weather sucked and my back was bad as well so I was sort of stuck inside. The plus side to it is that in terms of my back keeping me inside is that the weather sucked so I was not missing anything. lol I did have to step outside to take my puppy outside but that was about it. I love being able to go outside and enjoy fresh air and even cloudy days are ok-I just simply love the outdoors and hate being stuck inside. I think it is not unique to me though to love the outdoors. There are no walls holding you in and there are birds singing and nature even when everything is frozen and under snow. lol There is so much to do outside. I find I start feeling claustraphobic after a day stuck inside. lol Maybe I think of it more because of all the time I was stuck inside after my surgeries and I couldn't go outside and the only glimpse I had was through a window. I would spend days inside without stepping outside once, missing out on beautiful sunny days. I suppose it really makes me thankful to be able to go outside and enjoy the outdoors when I can because I know what the opposite is like. Isn't it very difficult to be stuck inside on a beautiful day and every ounce of you wants to feel that warm sunshine on your skin? I know we all go through that because there are always days that are so beautiful and we are stuck inside-usually it is called work. lol So I think everyone is able to understand how nice it is to be able to go outside and enjoy the outdoors even in the winter-especially when the sun is shining! In the summer there is so much more to enjoy and no comparison between indoors and outdoors. I am thankful for every minute that I can enjoy outside when I can. So today I am thankful for being able to go outside.
