Its been awhile since i was able to enjoy the outdoors. Yesterday i tried to go and do some jogging around the neighborhood and to get some fresh air and to keep my mid off of things that usually keeps my busy and stuff. Due to these trying times we dont usually get the chance to go out more often and somehow enjoy nature without the fear of being infected or so. So tell me friends when was the last time that you were able to enjoy the outdoors just like what i did yesterday?

Same here, specially with the recent bubble stuff imposed in our country lately but let us just pray that sooner or later we will be able to overcome this kind of pandemic and that the new normal in our world will be a good one at least

All the duration of the pandemia, I see to it that I take a turn around my garden every day. It's a chance for me to breath fresh air while watering the plants. I watch the clouds and the skies, the birds, the canopies, and the passers-by.

@setsuna26 One of my daughters also live in a small space in the city, near the hospital where she works. She and her colleague put up a flower spot space in their unit so that they could have fresh oxygen. Plants secretes carbon dioxide and emits oxygen. Arrange a foliage on top of a table, or even a ref. I have kangkong in bottles by my kitchen sink.

@eileenleyva sounds like a great idea. I will give it a try or maybe even ask a couple of my friends who loves planting to do the same just to have a much fresh oxygen supply around them

I live in a quiet neighborhood and get to walk daily and enjoy my large yard. Our other home is in a condo in Florida. We left it to be safe.

Good for you mate! I really envy people who are able to enjoy the snow and all. Since we are in a tropical country i never witnessed any snow yet hoping to be able to travel again once this pandemic is under control already

You should try to keep it as a habit if your just cool with the idea. A couple of minutes walking around might be pretty much beneficial to your health too

@setsuna26 Yes. Fresh air was nice since we had to stay inside so much because of Covid and with it being winter time with cold weather.

Nowadays it is not that easy to go out so whenever you do have the chance to go out and enjoy the outdoors you should at least give it a try. Good for you for you can do both i mean enjoy the outdoors somehow while working too

Its pretty much dissapointing that the virus is at it again right? Just like in our country its at it again and the cases are just rising that much too. I hope everything will be fine soon

I just now got back from a 20 minute walk to the road to drop in my trash (switched arms often to get weight benefit), and get the mail. It's a little over a 1/4 mile so got a little over a 1/2 mile. It's not a lot but it's something to enjoy the break in rain. Little pesky flies are out or I'd go sit out on my porch awhile.

You got that right! i mean every small step is a good one for all of us already. Sometimes we just need to be a little more active for our body to be fit. Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Last year it seems. As soon as you get fresh air for a moment you have to hurry and put your mask on because somebody is coming past you without a mask

Yeah the mask seems to be really important nowadays, i still remember the time that i just used it for some fashion trend but gone were the days that i do that. Now i wont be able to leave the house without wearing one, specially i need it to protect myself and to protect the people around me too

It seems so odd that we used to do it a lot and now it is just so hard for us to come up with a schedule to do such things because it is prohibited or worse the pandemic is all over that we are all mostly confined in our own place

Good for you then my friend. At least you will be much safer at home then wherever you might just be. Hows the vaccine rollout in your country? in the philippines it is a bit slow but somehow moving on too. Are you that far away from your bestfriend though?

You got that right, we should always try our best to keep safe specially because of these trying times. Not that i am not afraid to get sick or what but it just so happens that i need to breathe some fresh air every other day or else i might get crazy watching from my tv or from my phone all day long

Good for you then my friend. How bout the restrictions in your area? You see in my area the government is pretty much strict when it comes to letting people out. I happen to have a secure pass that is why i was able to exercise yesterday not like everyday that i get to have that type of priviledge though

All the reason to be careful whenever we are out doing whatever chores that we do right? It is not that simple nowadays to be safe and sound while out and doing regular chores right?

In that case you should be careful whenever possible because it is quite dangerous outside because of the current pandemic. But aside from working i am curious if you get to enjoy outdoors too ?
