Soggy Steps and Stormy Skies
The plan was simple: two walks to break up a day that’s been anything but restful. But life, weather, and fairground noise had other ideas.
Legs felt like they’d gone three rounds with a sleep-deprived bear—probably the result of too many restless nights interrupted by carnival sounds and flashing lights. I laced up anyway, determined to squeeze something out of this foggy day. One step out the door and I was greeted by a sky that looked like it had emotional baggage to unpack.
During my lunch walk, the clouds finally cracked. Rain? No. Biblical downpour. I got soaked to the bone, and honestly… it was kind of perfect. The kind of rain that makes you feel alive, even if you can’t feel your toes.
The second walk? Cancelled—washed away by a full-blown evening deluge. But that one soggy stroll gave me enough peace, fresh air, and natural beauty to call it a win.

It's truly spectacular to discover how different each day is, and the gifts it brings are truly appreciated. Even though you're familiar with this route you always take, these views seem new; they radiate a unique beauty, and you can only be grateful for them.
Congrats!
I am grateful for every step I can take, whatever the weather, as it always brings in new things... No two steps or walks are the same!

Spectacular images! Wow! So much emotion wrapped up in those clouds and the stunning scenery. Some of it looks like a landscape from the National Gallery. To beautiful to be real.

Please do! Despite my injuries, I need to find a way to get active again. A bit of fresh air goes a long way. I can't walk very far, but baby steps, right?
Yeah, baby steps does it! Start slowly, and not too far, and very gradually build it up again. Listen carefully to your body, and don’t stop too soon, but definitely not too late either!
I started with 500meter walks, and those took me over 10 minutes!
Now, I easily walk 20kms. I even walked 100km straight without a single break in 21hours last year.

Wow that's freaking inspirational. Yes I'd defos best starting a=around about where you are and I don't even know if I could do it w=every day... perhaps I should just try being part of the a@ctifit community and actually just letting myself try too get better. My condition may be permanent bit I haven't lost everything. I need to make the most of the mobility I have left.
Well, there's a few things that motivate me, and Actifit (and Step'n, another move2earn app, but not on Hive) is one of them! Earn Hive while walking, how great is that :-D
The other things are beating my condition, getting & keeping my body in shape better and faster than my illness can break it down. I want to be here for my kids and my loving wife (@nathalie-s ) for as long as possible, and in a good way!

That sounds fantastic. Earn while you also get the benefit of exercise? Sounds wonderful. I am so sorry to hear you are ill, I actually had no idea. I am also battling with chronic illness and trying to find a way to cope both mentally and physically.
No problem, I was lucky to have been diagnosed right before the major damage would’ve started, around my 20th. Ever since, I’m working on damage control, and it’s been working pretty well so far, if I hadn’t started immediately back then, I wouldn’t have made it to 25.
I had my issues dealing with it mentally, but over the years, that definitely got better, and now I tend and try to treat every day/week/month/year as a win.
But, no matter how you look at it, chronic illness is a b*tch…

its really tured my whole life around.
Wow. being diagnosed when you were 20? That's so young!
I was around 37 or 38 when my accident happened. I have always relied on being able to be active in my work. I have most pf my work experience in the hospitality sector and no matter how high up the food chain you are, you have to be able to run like hell and carry heavy loads. I just can't do it anymore. Even making the cakes takes days to recover from.
I am trying so hard to find a permanent position (since I was retrenched right after my diagnosis, but that's a story for another time) but the job market is extremely tough. with thousands of applicants, you have to be in the top 50 at least otherwise recruiters won't even bother to look at your CV. It means hunting every day and that can be soul destroying :(
I just wish I could turn back time and be the person I was befre the accident. Like I havent accepted it yet. I'm still in the anger and blame stage of processing it.
Yeah, I understand… And it being the result from an accident makes it more difficult to accept it. In that sense, for my condition, it is hereditary, so just bad luck, not that much to blame (not that I didn’t of course ;-) ). I think it is also due to the young age that I was able to deal with it pretty fast and well (most of the time). One of the consequences of it is a bit similar to yours… troubles finding and keeping a permanent position. Employers don’t like people with health issues. Especially not if they know up front, or get to know that you will be out of office due to illness for at least 15 days a year. That’s why I had to become an independent freelancer. Which comes with its own problems.
And yup, I know about the hospitality sector! My parents both worked in hotels and restaurants (my dad was a chef, and so are 2 of my sons!), and my wife and I did as well off and on. It is heavy, it is intense, it is rewarding :-) But it also is extremely difficult if your body doesn’t cooperate… Wishing you all the best! Keep your hopes high, you’ll find a way that works for you!

Well, apparently, my condition is hereditary too. I just wouldn't have known about it if the accident hadn't happened. I always just thought I was really limber ad flexible, and that it was a good thing, but it turns out that my bones are skew. I also have osteoporosis to look forward to as I get older. Joy 🙄🙄🙄🙄 any tips on freelancing would be most welcome. <3
Right, I see! I think it is similar to the condition my wife and daughter have. And they too are bound to get osteoporosis indeed…
Freelancing, well… start building slowly, but not too slow. Don’t be too patient either, definitely not. I don’t know your financial situation, but if you have some slack, then go in! Just be careful when investing in stuff. We always think at least 3 times about every investment, is this required? Is this useful? Do we want this, or do we need this? And by when will it repay itself (the ROI).

Well, knowing all that you know about cakes, that is not a “just”, that is a lot! ;-)
Yeah, @zakludick (and others!) have really done a great job on this! I used to make it a habit to pick one account out of the list every day, and read, upvote and comment on their posts, but lately life has been eating away a bit too much of my time. But I did get to another one yesterday! ;-)
