This was a year ago. It must have been taken on one of my really long running routes. As it was the last week of term, I would be trying to cram in as many long runs as possible before the 6 week school holidays started. If only I had crammed in a few super long runs before the pandemic kicked in during March this year. Actually thinking about it, I wish I had crammed in a few other things as well those long 4 months ago
- Real ice cream
- Slush puppies
- Hill walking
- Climbing
- Trips to the beach
- Trips to Switzerland
- Trips to see my football team play – on seconds thoughts, who wants to see them get beat again….
- Trips to Castles and Roman sites
- Rock concerts
- Visits to my sisters and brother
- Trips to see some special friends
- A few mountain biking sessions
- A trip to the running shoe shop
- A trip to a coffee and cake shop
- A trip to the hot donut shop
- A trip to the paper shop to stock up on paper, pens, PENCILS, paint, crayons and other school stationary cupboard requirements
- Trip to the garage, my car has been broken since March now
- A trip to the chip shop
- Clothes shopping for the next year of Hawklad’s growth
- Bathroom paper (toilet roll), face mask and soap shopping
- A trip to the toy shop for Christmas gifts
- Garden furniture shopping – the Yorkshire winters are not kind on outside chairs
- Second hand book store
Thinking about books, the one place I am so glad I never crammed in was a trip to the Library. My books would now be 4 months overdue – that would be some hefty fine.
Reading your list has shown me how much has changed and what we took for granted . Well not for granted but what simple things we cannot easily do at the moment. I am so sorry you are not able to get a run in . I know that was a big stress relief. And the library so true. Hugs

A trip to stock up on hand soap, sanitizer, toilet rolls and face masks would have been super handy, not to say far-sighted.

I have become such a simple person. My needs are small and easily met. Unless mayhem comes to my door…I can survive. How lucky am I. It makes me feel so guilty.

There is much I would have crammed in as well, had I known. It makes me promise myself to NEVER take all the little blessings for granted ever again. Our library closed before I was able to stock up. I was positively jonesing for new material to read after reading again all the books in my small collection. Fortunately I was able to keep up easily with all the wonderful blog posts you and others posted, that saved me time and time again!
Just a side note, our library is not charging any late fees whatsoever!

Well… we all took little things for granted …
I actually learned that through cancer before this hit…
I had no idea how important you breast muscle is – until I could not even pick up something as light as my phone or open a door. I even needed help using the bathroom. โน๏ธ
You donโt realize until you lose it.
So just try to appreciate what you have currently…
What is in the past you can never change or return – donโt look too far back, too often … you will miss what could be appreciated now!
There was a time I was so busy missing the past, that it made me miss the present… so careful on that. Itโs a slippery slope lol โ๏ธ
You can see where you took things for granted … so that is good that you see that. Make sure that in the present, you are present ๐
If you are always looking backwards you canโt see whatโs in front of you ๐โ๏ธ
