The cable is out. Without the internet to play on Medium, I feel lost.

There’s no television or ability to Google search. So what’s a stationary person to do?

It’s as if the universe is saying,

Karen, although you went to great lengths this year to not make exercise your New Year’s resolution, I am going to help you.

On this second day of the year, I am taking away your ability to use technology and inviting you to get outdoors to enjoy nature.

Perhaps today, you’ll take a walk during this snowstorm with your camera to improve your photography, to make a snow angel, to visit the lake, or breathe the fresh air.

It’s been a long time since I’ve walked for the sheer pleasure of enjoying the outdoors.

It’s long overdue.
