Mood changes

Isn't it interesting how something like a little walk in the country can really change your mood. This morning I was feeling thoroughly depressed, felt like going back to bed and starting again, tired and irritable.

Me and my boyfriend had said we'd do something today, but by 1:30 this afternoon we hadn't managed to leave the house, or even decide what to do with the afternoon, which was slowly ticking away. We settled on taking a walk up the road into the nearby countryside.

It was a lovely afternoon, warm for February, didn't even need my coat which i took but had ties round my waist.

After only quarter of an hour of gentle exercise was starting to feel happier. We did a route that took us round in a circle, with not too much in the way of hills. It was fairly muddy, which would usually annoy me but didn't today. Walked for 2 hours straight and although i was getting tired by the end, i'd had a complete transformation mood from miserable to happy.
