Save Your Sanity: Walk

You’ll feel better…

When I feel stressed or overly tired or confused, or when I’m happy and chill, I walk.

I’ve always walked. Endless miles. Call it brain fixing or anxiety calming. Call it outdoor sanity or nature-joy. (I just made that phrase up.)

I have found that walking lets you breathe and think and de-sizzle and manage stress, tears, grief, and problems. It doesn’t take them away. If it did, with all the miles I’ve walked, my life would be a lot easier.

But walking, I have found, eases life. It brings beauty to mind and body.

I like studying flower petals…

…and I like the cool breeze that feels like a blessing.

I like ducks that sound like they’re laughing at me and geese that honk like they’re semi-screaming. I like blue herons because they are the Lamb Family bird and I like the elegance of white egrets.

I like examining the intricacies of tree bark.

When I stand and stare at tree bark I am sure that people nearby think I’m crazy, but I am decades past caring about what people think of my bark studies.
