Smile Files and Walking

Managed the first walk in sometime on my own today, wasn't too far but its a new start as far as getting out on my own is concerned. It is all too easy to let it go and when I do it becomes harder, it might seem like a funny thing to say but for me walking outside on my own is something I have to keep doing to keep practising else it becomes so hard for me to do.

Last weekend was spent completing a few of my smile files/scrapbooks. When the idea was initially introduced to me the idea was to take photos of things that make you smile and then add them to a book, so that when you are feeling down you could look back at these images, they could be of anything and only mean something to you. I have taken this idea and modified slightly for my own use and created several books, one book which is nearly filled over the weekend is of various pieces of paper collected during my travels. This can include postcards, tickets and leaflets, and included things from my travels to Nigeria, South Africa and the USA as well as some travels in the UK. It reminded me of places I have been and people I have met and also makes me think of places I still want to visit.
