Day 5556; POTD 365:007; 123/072 2023; 52/01

            Walking into a brighter future.
In one year and a couple of weeks time I will be 65. That sounds so old. 
I have a choice. I can be a fit, healthy and active older woman or a fat little old person not doing much. So this year I will be concentrating on eating better and walking regularly, regardless of the weather. I started out well last year, with the aim to get out and walk every day and to walk along every street in my suburb by the end of the year. But I lost my mojo during a wet and wearisome winter. I couldn't start getting out and about on 1st January 2023 as I had Covid and didn't test negative until 4th Janauary.

It's rainy and miserable today and due to be the same all week. But I made a point of going out when it wasn't too bad, partly because today was the last day i could take this theme picture for 365: The 2023 Edition and for 52 Weeks 2023 Edition.

The path I am walking along runs parrallel to the beach a couple of hundred metres from my house. It was improved a few months ago after part of it was blocked by slips in the bad winter weather. 

I didn't grow up near a beach, or near lovely paths like this. I grew up in east London (England). I moved to New Zealand when I was 50, and then to this beach suburb when I was 60. I need to get out and emjoy what is on my doorstep more than I am currently doing.

The numbers in the title refer to it being 5556 days since I started my first self-portrait of the day (I haven't finished every year since then, but most of them have been close). I then started the Picture of the Day 365 in 2015 and it has become an integral part of my life. I can't imagine not doing it now.
