I was fed up. I had to get out. It was too boring to just mope around at home doing nothing. I felt like I could not breath.
- Why should I stay at home? Why not go out for a stroll. It is quite sunny day. I thought for a moment. Then I decided to go for it.
So, I put on my shoes and overcoat. I took my keys from the hook on the wall next to the door. I opened the door and grabbed my umbrella on my way out. I stuffed it in my pocket. I heard the door close and started jumping down the stairs.
Outside the sun shone but there were some clouds promising rain. It was fresh and a bit windy day, I walked down the hill and turned north towards the forest. I found the narrow path taking me deeper into woods. The ground was wet. The leaves ruffled in wind. I heard the squishy noises under the soles of my boots. Some trees were getting yellow and orange and red. Others were still green. When I glanced down I saw mushrooms scattered all around me. I wondered what they were called. I was embarrassed to confess I don’t know their names and I don’t know which are edible.
I took out my cell phone and started taking pictures while I set on my trek that would take me around the suburb I lived in. It was going to be almost 2 miles trek. The fresh air filled my lungs. I heard the sand make noises when I walked on.
There were people there too doing what I was doing. Some had walking staffs with them. I thought that I should have brought mine. I remembered that someone had described it as having staffs but no skis. It is good exercise. I regretted not having my own ones with me.
After an hours walk I returned home and felt refreshed. It was wonderful stroll in the woods. I decide to go for one again tomorrow. |
