On Sunday I chose a different venue for our walk. It's just a few miles for our house but we haven't been there for quite a while. I needed a change.The sky was so blue and the air was crisp. The river was full and flowing. The walk was smooth and easy for our out and back 1.20 miles.
Colors are subtle in the wintertime, but they are there in the leafless riverbank bushes. It was a contrast to my Monday morning. Monday is one of my "long program" physical therapy days. Then it's housekeeping and laundry time. I listened to the radio while I exercised. I recorded the inauguration events on NBC TV. Tom had MSNBC on live in the kitchen. Between the various media I got the coverage. I worked and exercised and struggled and seethed. Everything was making me angry. I think Tom was ducking for cover.We sat and watched Donald Trump's speech. I took notes.
Now all media is off. It's quiet. I am calming down.
I have a lot to say. I probably won't say any of it. But how in hell did we do this again?
I didn't watch any of it but read the news online. I am very sad about the direction we are headed. I'm glad there are plenty of us still around, though.
ReplyDeleteWell lets just focus on the good walks. I didn't listen to the speech but listened to the commentary after.
ReplyDeleteI find it all disheartening and it's not even my country.
ReplyDeleteBusy Monday here too. Have a good week.
