Conversation I just had with myself:

It has been several weeks since I’ve gone to a forest on Sunday.

I’m going to the fucking forest because I need some quality fucking forest time, fuck!

Don’t keep me away from my fucking forest time!

I’m outside!

A dog I’ve never met ran up to meet me on a trail in the forest. They stopped about a foot away then came up to me and licked my hand then carried on. The dog’s human mom said maybe her dog thought I was someone they know. I said that this happens to me all the time. Dogs I don’t know come up to me like I’m their long lost friend.

She said I must be a kindred spirit.

I miss forests so much

@StacieBee Do you not have any forests where you live, or is it because you can't walk them with your foot issues?

@SteveJB

There are SO MANY forests near me but I haven’t been able to walk without pain since July.

@StacieBee I feel your pain. I had to stop walking forests a few years ago. Walking down a slope would suddenly make it feel like gutter spikes being driven through my knees. Then in 2018 I injured my back and I don't walk for pleasure at all any more.☹️

@SteveJB

Ouch, sorry to hear. I injured my back in 2000 so I know back pain. Pain is exhausting. 

@StacieBee this happens to my son Mr 19, only with cats. If he goes to read a book in the park at the end of the street, he will be constantly interrupted by local cats, even notorious misanthropes. Even OUR OWN cats who are NOT ALLOWED OUTSIDE.
