Good day so far

I got up early this morning. (I love to get up early) and went for a walk around the hospital near my house.  It's about a 30 minute trek total.  I got about a quarter into it and wanted to turn around because of my anxiety but kept moving forward,  Baby steps when it comes to this leaving my house thing.  This is the longest period of time I have been housebound.  I have struggled off and on with it since I got sick but some days are better than others.  I'm officially not driving because of that which in a sense is good because I am close to some shops and I can just walk there.  You know I never thought I would ever have to go through something like this when I was young.  It totally took me by surprise.  Before I was sick I was on the go all the time and people thought I was never afraid of anything.  What they didn't know was that I was afraid of everything I just covered it up real well.  The walk was good today. I walked a little over a mile.  Towards the end it got kind of hard but I felt real good afterwards.  I have still maintained consistency with taking care of myself and am really surprised about that since for years and years I didn't.   I believe I am coming into some sort of healing in my life after many years of being sick.  Just taking one step at a time, one day at a time.  As I know it will take some time to bring me totally back,
