Can I tell you something

I went outside today. It's been three years since I went out my front door.
I know it sounds like a silly little thing but it feels like a big thing that I should tell someone about and I don't have anyone to tell in real life. It was only for five minutes. The cold fresh air felt nice.

You picked and lovely crisp sunny winters day! Fabulous that it felt good. It’s an amazing thing to be taking the first small progressive steps. Well done!

@Alphabet1spaghetti2

someone earlier said something like '& today of all days'

sinve then people have commented on the beautiful weather

here today it's been probably the gloomiest, dampest day this year.

i walk daily & today was the most miserable day.

im happy for everyone who had a beautiful day!

Having known someone with agoraphobia(I assume it's that) it's a huge thing to just get over the doorstep. Very well done. 💐

2mummies1baby · 17/01/2024 18:40

That's a huge step! Well done, OP! Please keep going- maybe try for 6 minutes tomorrow?

Best thing Ive read all day !
Hope you enjoyed your outing .

Bloody well done you!

Alphabet1spaghetti2 · 17/01/2024 18:43

@WagWoofWalkMeeoow oops sorry your weather was pants. I guess the weather forecast has been a bit full on with how frosty and winters it’s meant to be today all over. Although I quite like a damp grey day - makes my bright yellow boots stand out and I can embrace my inner child by stomping in wet leaves etc. I take the small wins!!

blackpanth · 17/01/2024 18:43

Well done! ❤️

ImCamembertTheBigCheese · 17/01/2024 18:44

Well done Flowers

Whattodowithit88 · 17/01/2024 18:44

Well done!! Also try going out and standing in the garden just as the sun is going down, when it turns twilight, it’s a lovely time of the day, a sense of calm and I think you would enjoy observing it.

worriedgal · 17/01/2024 18:45

That's so amazing!
Really really well done x

ConflictedCheetah · 17/01/2024 18:45

@Alphabet1spaghetti2

yeah they kept promising snow, & today was supposed to be our best chance!! we got about 3 flakes last week.☹️

I don't usually mind cold grey damp days, but today it was a disappointment! I wanted either snow or sunshine!! <Stomp & not in leaves!!>.

CarbsAreNotMyFriend · 17/01/2024 18:48

Wow!! That's incredible, well done 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
