Outdoors

I absolutely love being Outdoors.

Outdoors defined as “in or into the open air; outside a building or shelter”, “outside in the fresh air”, “the natural world - the places outside where people can enjoy nature”.

I love being Outdoors, walking around my neighbourhood, going to the bush land park and walking around.

For years and years we had a treadmill in the loungeroom.  It took up a lot of room.  Yet my Hubby and I both like walking Outdoors over walking on the treadmill and so it was great when we decided to let go of our treadmill.  This gave us space for a new toybox set up for my son which has also brought me Joy.

I am a home body and sometimes have to push myself to get outside but the Joy I feel of going Outdoors each day, motivates me to put on my jogging shoes.

I am a nature lover.  Surprisingly I am enjoying the feeling of the brisk air as I go Outdoors.  I love looking up to the sky to see the artscapes from God. I love seeing the birds. I love seeing the beautiful flowers.  As I am out and about walking around Outdoors I love taking photos of flowers, of the sky, of birds - anything beautiful in nature - at these times I feel so Joyful.   

I love when people walk past and I say a friendly hello.  As I am walking near people approaching me, I think to myself, look up, and then I say hi.  When coronavirus first hit, I used to cross over the other side of the road as I was scared to walk past people.  I was most scared because I was worried about my children getting sick.  Now I am less worried and feel more confident being out and about Outdoors.

When my children and I were in isolation, I used to love getting Outdoors each day to exercise and be out in nature. 

At first I would take this time to talk to friends or family since I had been so busy during the day doing homeschooling and work. 

And now I love the quiet, being present, not thinking, just being. I love that during this time Outdoors, I am inspired with ideas - thank you God.  Being Outdoors definitely brings me Joy.
