This past winter was not much fun for me.\u00a0 Heck, last summer and fall weren\u2019t all that great either.\u00a0 My life seemed to be deep in the pits.\u00a0 Than I was given the suggestion – WALK!\u00a0 Don’t think.\u00a0 Just walk and let Mother Nature do her magic.<\/p>\n

I have always liked to walk.\u00a0 It was my time to think, do my problem-solving.\u00a0 The dogs were a distraction but we now have an arrangement.\u00a0 They walk nicely with me to the turn-around point where off come the leashes and they get to play for awhile.\u00a0 When the leashes go back on they know its time to go home where breakfast is waiting.<\/p>\n

Yes, learning to walk without thinking but observing was a challenge but the rewards have been worth the effort.\u00a0 Even with the limited alternative paths, it is working for me.\u00a0 Maybe it will help brighten your day, too.<\/p>\n

Here are some tips I found useful:
\n1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Stand tall, shoulders back, chin up, tummy in.
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Wear comfortable shoes and clothes.\u00a0 Don\u2019t forget a hat and sunglasses – no frowning!
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 No I-pod or other distraction, even a human walking partner.
\n4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Use all your senses to observe the surroundings.
\n5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Breath deeply and remember it is quality, not quantity, that counts.<\/p>\n
