Like many of you, I also had a WDW vacation cancelled by COVID last year. And I agree with a PP that it's hard to read trip reports and reviews by others who have traveled this year. I don't post as much on the Boards because my personal experience at WDW is now so out of date in light of all the pandemic changes, restaurant and menu changes, etc.
But getting outside, in good spring weather and even during the cold winter months, has been a real game changer. Whether doing yard work or walking, getting out of the house and pushing my muscles a bit has helped tremendously. I know some live in apartments or condos. And others have physical or health limitations. But if that's not you, then fresh air really helps physically and mentally.
I have so many young neighbours who pay big $ to landscaping companies, snow removal teams, window washers, etc and more. Maybe no one showed them how to do basic property maintenance. But more likely, they don't want to be bothered and just add the expense onto a line of credit. It was so bad last summer that I almost yelled at one young 20-something neighbour. I was out at the roadside with my weed trimmer and she walked over. I had to stop my work as she approached. She asked me what I was doing, I explained, and she then 'told' me that it was just a huge waste of time, she couldn't be bothered, and it made 'her' feel bad to see women doing physical work.
And she interrupted my work to impart that bit of wisdom to a woman twice her age and twice her life experience. Somebody's parents and grandparents failed right there. Women need to be physically independent if at all possible and particularly need to be financially independent. Keeping costs down and saving is freedom. I don't even want to start on teenagers who won't pick up a snow shovel and won't push a lawnmower. These are lifelong skills. Being a Jill or Jack of all trades is critical and physical work and exercise is such a big boost for mental and emotional health. The pandemic has highlighted our need to be in control of at least the small things in our lives.
