Gloomy and Gray

The gloom and gray did not deter me from stepping out and stepping up to get the mittens and stocking cap on for a walk this morning.  The walk was scheduled so I could be at the chiropractor by 10:45.  It was 29 degrees when I left home for the two miles.  So be it.  We are making progress on the stiff neck and I do follow up with an ice pack and exercises in the evening.  It’s either “this or better.”  

There was a lot of joy in today.  Sometimes it doesn’t include bells and whistles.  Felling good inside is all it takes.  I had a great day.  Dennis had a great day with his checkup.  His INR (blood clotting test) was right on track.  He need not show up for another for weeks.  

I did do a bit of a walk around in the back.  It was a good check as long as I stayed on the concrete.  There is perennial greenery peeking out.  I didn’t dare step on the area that was tilled as I know my shoes would have had to have been cleaned of mud.  At this time I did not see new spears of grass.  They will need warmer temps to coax them out.  We are patient.  We have all spring to see what shapes up outside.
