The air was so cold and crisp and perfect.
Today was my kind of day because I was able to go outside for a while. I have been working from home for 5 years now and it seems like I just don’t go outside as much as I used to. This was amplified when covid hit and I felt more isolated than ever. However, now I’m starting to go outside more and I’m finding that I really enjoy it. While I love having an excellent air conditioning system that has done nothing but good things for me I have found that I’ve been craving some good real fresh air. I went outside and decided to have some fun with my kids. My wife and I took them to the park and spent the entire day eating lunch, playing games, and pushing them on the swing. After a long day of doing all that we lied down on the grass and watched the stars. It was such a wonderful feeling. I got to see it all, the clear blue sky during the day with the gentle puffy clouds, then the sunset when it started to get late, and finally the night sky. The air was so cold and crisp and perfect. I wish there was a way that they could take the air from outside and bring it indoors, no air conditioning system in my opinion can match the quality of nature. I do love that I have the ability to work from home and I’m really grateful for what I have but man it was great to get out for a while. In a way now that I’ve been outside I’m not looking forward to going back into my air conditioned home. But I think what I’ll do is I’ll just make sure I take more trips outside and take breaks.
