Body Needs Oxygen

A haiku

By Seema PatelPublished 2 months ago 1 min read

be it sun or rain,

I will go for a walk—

the body needs oxygen.

Some people skip walks, giving different issues or weather conditions as excuses. I don’t. Yet if there is wildfire smoke, leaf blower gas fumes, or mulch machines running, I will delay or skip.

Otherwise, I will go in all weather, for my own good.

It was a rainy, cold day. Enrichment was mine. Being hypothyroid and at risk of diabetes, my body needs oxygen as much as it can get. Yours needs it too.

    Walking in the rain never bothered me. A blowing rain does, though
