The value of a good walk

The third blog post. This is where it really gets good. Otherwise, you’ll probably just leave and never come back. (I’m joking. I’m sure you would never do that, reader.) I was thinking about what to bend your ear about this week on a walk I took one day. And how did it go?

I thought and I walked. I walked and I thought.

And really, I didn’t feel super inspired since I had such a busy week. The walk was nice, though.

On a busy week, have you ever just needed a nice break that got you moving? Maybe you wanted to feel like the world wasn’t so focused on one thing and you needed to stop and smell whatever was out there on the sidewalk—hopefully roses or something nice. I myself get to see a stoplight, a corporate-owned coffee shop, and some houses. On a bad day, and in one particular stretch of a neighborhood across the way, I’ll be dodging a maze of evidence that dogs do in fact live nearby.

I usually take a walk on my lunch break since otherwise I would be shirking my work. And really, these walks are great! I can think about my blog and get some vitamin D. Since I’m working from home most days, I can enjoy the outside world for a solid forty minutes without any of the crowds downtown. If I’m feeling like a pick-me-up, I can grab something from the grocery store at the end, because everyone knows that a treat at the end of the walk makes it that much better. 

I’m getting off track, I guess. Where was I?

Right.

I was walking and taking in the sights. I was thinking about what to write for you all, and happy to see a little sun. I was sure I’d figure something out by the end of it.

Wait, hey! Look at that.

Walks are pretty great.
