Yesterday I chose to walk in the woods, over a treadmill.
I chose the great outdoors over the air-conditioning.
I was among the tall trees, the singing cicadas, and the chirping birds, over the whir of a machine.
I walked on dried leaves, exposed tree roots, sand, mud and compressed dirt, over the cadence of the treadmill belt.
What I saw was lovely nature. I heard animals. I smelled fresh morning. I heard real sound.
Every once in a while, it does a body and mind good to get outside, change the routine, be grateful for Mother Nature. It’s almost fall, y’all…make every last-minute of summer count! Lace up your shoes; fill up your water bottle; spread on some sunscreen; charge up your camera/phone and take a walk in the woods (or wherever you can get some fresh air and sunshine.)
Aloha,
Denise
