Fresh Air

This has been a very mild winter in Florida. You may think all winters are mild in Florida, but some years it gets pretty cold -- at least in North Florida. I feel like I've been wasting a lot of beautiful days, doing indoor things when I should be outside enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. Today it's in the mid-seventies with a gorgeous clear sky. I've had a bit of a stomach issue all day, so I haven't been out much. I went out to get the mail a few minutes ago and thought of taking a walk, but my stomach quickly reminded me I shouldn't get too far from home. I'm trying my best to stay healthy for my trip -- taking vitamins and probiotics every day, eating healthy (or healthier) foods. Today I've eaten little and I think that's a good thing. My stomach doesn't just hurt; it feels bloated beyond all reason. For now, I'll skip the walk and instead have some Lipton noodle soup. If my stomach lets me, I'll take my soup on the porch and spend a little time in the beautiful outdoors.
