I bought a coffee and walked around. I just felt like going. I bought some stuff too. I feel good about it. It's usually really difficult. I didn't even feel like it at first but wanted to. I pushed through and I'm glad. Yea I felt anxious. I walked half an hour. It was worth it. I haven't done that in months. I usually only leave for appointments or when I have to for other things. I got dressed too, brushed my teeth, and went. I usually don't go out alone.

If I walked for half an hour I'd reach my nearest neighbour.

It's worth the effort. I hope you go for a walk again soon.

For me, it would depend on whether I walked by road or across the pasture.

Across the pasture, I could do that in maybe 20 minutes. By road, it would take more than an hour.

My nearest neighbor by road is preacher for our local church -- the church and the parsonage is only a mile away by road, so figure about half an hour for that.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, the church is closer than the parsonage by about 200 feet. Does that mean that my nearest neighbor is God?
