Since I have been Unable to drive for a while, I have rediscovered the Joy Of Walking Everywhere
I love walking up and down the hills and through the woods near to me. Feels spiritually nourishing and brings a sense of peace. In a life that can seem frenetic it allows thoughts to slow down. Love the sense of freedom.
Walking clears the head and puts everything into perspective.
Walking is good for the body, good for the mind and good for the soul. It’s when I do my best thinking.
Walking is good and natural for the body. So much nicer than being stuck in a car in one position. Scenery and nature even better!
When I was young, I walked to relax. When our children were young we’d walk because it was good for all of us. After my husband’s heart attack we walked for his and my health. But no matter what the reason it was always a truly relaxing lovely thing to do.
