I worked late-ish again yesterday. The sun had come out briefly during the afternoon, and I had hoped to go for a stroll before it yet again retreated. It was not to be.
Not having left the house for two full days or so, I was fed up. So when I finally finished work, and the sun had already passed the horizon, I decided to go out anyway. Dinner ended up running a bit late, but so what? At last! Movement! Fresh air! Plus I got to mail out a Pokémon card that was due for shipping.
Is it nicer to walk when the sun is out in full force? Oh yeah, sure. But sometimes, even when you recognize them, you’ll have to let ideal conditions pass only to do something under less supportive conditions later. Suboptimal timing doesn’t make a good decision a bad one. It just makes you late. And, as they say, better late than never!
When life’s not a walk in the park, you can still take a walk in the dark. It might not feel as rosy, but the exercise will work its magic all the same.
