Yesterday was such a day.
I had a great morning visiting a new church and enjoying worship in a different way, which is good to do every once in a while. Meet God in a new place that is.
After lunch I went to meet friends to go for a walk in the nearby National Trust Park which is beautiful on a crisp January afternoon.
The snow had gone and the day was cold but I had planned for that and worn several layers.
But.. I wore the wrong boots which were cosy and warm and trendy ... and totally useless on a slippy afternoon!!
I fell , not once but twice.
I hurt my pride and little else thankfully but such a mess! I had mud everywhere!
Then I chose a route which involved negotiating a steep hill, and undeterred, tried keeping up with said friends only to discover I soon ran out of puff!!( Not good on hills - my body can't cope with them)
SO i had to do my usual stopping to catch my breath and pretend it was a scenery stop.
To end the day I had a row with my best friend. Well we fell out several times.
I came home battered mentally and physically.
Of course next time I will wear the right footwear and choose flat walks to go on, or better still, meet everyone at the cafe after they have been out walking.
Life sucks sometimes!
Just sometimes I wish I could do what so many normal people can do and not get tired, or feel ill going up a hill, not have to stop and feel awkward with friends, and just enjoy being out in the fresh air with good company.
But I don't have a perfect body and I have to accept that frustrating as it is, its the only one I've got.
