Today, January 20th, is the celebration of "Take A Walk Outdoor Day".
Are they kidding us? Who in his or her right mind is going to go for a walk today in this frigid morning? Certainly not me, I can tell you that much!
My walk will be done soon, but indoor and without leaving my warm house.
I have all the space needed to walk right here, so why would I go out today and freeze myself?
Unless you live right now in a warm country or state, do you?

It's sleeting, now it turned to snow, this is an inside day for sure - let's declare it 'eat chocolate day' instead.

@ivyparkgirl Not all the countries are warm like the south of the United States. Marlina lives in Canada, it's not a warm country, as it is not Switzerland.

They are nutz that's for sure. Wild horses couldn't drag me out today. I love @AbbyGreenhill suggestion though, lol. Sounds good to me.

I used to walk with friends before school at 5:30 AM. For some reason, it seemed still outside, and I was warm from just rolling out of bed. Of course, the fact that I bundled up and wore glove liners under my thick mittens helped. I don't believe I will ever do it again, so I don't blame you. There are all kinds of exercises you can do in the warmth of your house.

It was in the low seventies and sunny where I live yesterday. I spent as much time as possible outside, as it has been too cold for me to do so recently. I love those little gifts of nice weather and drop everything to enjoy them when they show up.

@marlina There are stretches of time when we have perfection days or weeks in a row. Some people think this might be boring, but it never is to me. It is glorious.

It is cold here, but not snow and I am one of the people who took a walk today, in the cold. I take a walk every day, even in the rain with an umbrella, it is so good for my arthritis.

warmish despite being winter, but that's normal for here. And that is a crazy time in Canada for encouragements of that nature!

I did my five minutes on the treadmill and I think next week I can bump up the time. I wasn't as out of breath as I normally am. @just4him (306354)

@ivyparkgirl It was sad they lost, but that Hail Mary Aaron Rodgers threw again made the game worth watching. I also didn't fully expect them to win, not after the huge loss we had against them a few weeks ago. I'm happy the game was a lot closer and went into overtime. It was a very good game. So I'm sad they lost, but I'm also not sad. I hope that last made sense.

It is not freezing here Marie, but I dont think I am going walking today.
But the day is young, so we shall see yet.
I do a lot around the house so...
