For many years I stayed inside my house. I was always sitting around reading something or taking in a movie. I thought this was how life was supposed to be. Very rarely would I be involved in any kind of outdoor activities. I even let a neighborhood boy cut my grass, so I could stay in and do my thing. One day I realized how out of shape I was. It was enough to make me take action. I got involved with an exercise class, and began taking some personal training, and we did it outside.

It was very invigorating to say the least. It felt to me like my whole head had been clogged up, and now I was a new person. I believe I needed the oxygen that I was getting to my brain. Not the re-circulated air that I had been breathing for so many years inside my house. This really changed my outlook about being outside, so I tried to find other things to do outdoors as well.

It was only a short time before I took daily walks from my house to downtown. I was browsing around the local bookstore when I got a great idea. So I bought their best golf instruction book and was golfing the next day. Before I knew it, I was hooked on the game and teeing off on a regular basis. My whole life totally took a new turn in a very short time. It had been here in front of my nose for years.

I was totally transformed, in just a few weeks, not only by how I felt, but by how I looked. I was becoming lean and mean, fit and trim. There were a few of the local ladies who made nice comments on my transformation. As a single man, this gave me even more incentive to work out. I attended every class, and was full of enthusiasm. And my scores improved continuously at golf.

Months went by, and one day I met a wonderful woman at one of my exercise classes. We fast became very good friends. Before long we were taking those walks downtown together, and spent more and more time together every week after. It was only a year from our first meeting, that we both were wearing rhodium plated wedding rings. These things happened to me because I got out of my house, and embraced the outdoors.

We now have branched out and have been qualified to teach our own classes. It pays good, and we are extremely happy with our new lives. Sometimes I think back to the days when I stayed in and was a couch potato, and thought my life was fine. I am very thankful that I took action and saw a better way. Life is good and I am living it to the fullest.

The outdoors is the best place for getting your head clear. Staying shut in will deprive you of the amounts of real oxygen you need, and keep you from getting the amount of exercise you need as well. My advice to anyone, is to schedule some outside activities every week, and do not let life slip up on you and find you have been inside all this time. It is just not healthy. And who knows, you may find your true love like me.
