January 23, 2008 - Walking

I didn't get a chance to post my blog entry yesterday. I was feeling sick. I don't really want to think that i'm catching a cold or flu but it sure feels like it. A lot of people have been getting sick around here. I guess it's the cold and flu season again. I'm feeling a lot better so i'm going to post yesterday's and today's post today again.

I want to thank Sandy for the idea for this post. Yesterday i posted how taking deep breaths was good for calming a person down in a flash. Another wonderful calming thing everyone can do is take a walk. I remember years ago i used to take walks regularly. I would take walks for EVERYTHING! If i was frustrated and wanted to get away, i would go for a long walk. If i just wanted to get some fresh air outside, i'd go on a walk. During the holidays i would go out and take scenic walks with my oldest son. He was months old then. We would walk past each house, my son in his stroller, admiring the holiday decorations. I'd also take fast walks if i wanted to make that my exercise for the day. I loved walking! After taking my walks i would always feel so calm, happy, and refreshed.

I haven't taken walks regularly in quite a while. I'm thinking i should start again. We have a park nearby here and i think that would be the best place to start!
