The weather has been clear the past few days.  With the calendar heading toward March, the sun is still up until after I get home.

What does this mean?  Walking.

I can begin parking a block away again as I am not walking down a dark alley after work.  I can begin walking down to the mailbox again after work. I am so looking forward to it. 

The magazine articles are right in the fact that just being outside for a bit is helpful.  We are at the part of Pacific Northwest winter that we all start to feel stabby  Just a few minutes spent outside really does help. Even if it is just stomping in a puddle as I walk along.
