So today is better. On the advice of a doctor friend, I went out for a short sunny walk and it helped immensely. Mental health, as she noted, is just as important as physical health. That was nice to hear from a doctor, I must say. I went for another short walk today and my spirits are high. It’s 26 degrees here and sunny and I’m going to spend the day sitting on our porch with a good book and my feet up. Sweet.
