We are involved in postcrossing; where we send postcards (and receive them) all around the word. I am going to walk to the postoffice every Saturday to send the postcards for that day.
Yesterday was the first day I decided to do this. I even stepped it up and went to pick us up lunch in a different direction afterwards. I typically would have driven for all of this. I even was tempted to walk to the post office and then come home and drive to the place I was going to pick up lunch. Instead, I walked the whole thing.
Surprising to me, it only took me just less than 30 minutes to do the whole trip! It actually only took me 5 minutes to walk to the postoffice; I thought for sure it would take at least 15 minutes.
Knowing this, I am defintely going to start walking more places. My mother-in-law lives only a 5 minute drive from us; from now on I am going to offer to walk over there when possible. If we are just going to go there and hang out, there’s no reason for me to drive. Of course, I will have to make an exception when I have to dress up to go out somewhere.
Maybe someday I can get my husband to join me as well; but even if I don’t, I am enjoying this!
