Post 233 | Walks

For two weeks in a row now I have had the pleasure of walking down the street to a park/forest/farm area and just wander around a bit. These walks offer an opportunity for some of the most relaxing time during my day.

Something about walking around a wide open space or inside a forest relaxes me. Breathing in the fresh air and just being distracted by putting one foot in front of the other takes an enormous amount of weight off my shoulders.

Which is odd because a lot of the talks on these meanderings are about weighty subjects. But that does make me like them any less.

I also sat outside just reading for an hour and a half on a bench on Sunday and that was equally relaxing. Except for the part where my back was angry at me for doing so. Spring doesn't last terribly long, before we know it summer will be here in all it's ridiculously hot glory and we wont want to go outside as much.

So I implore you to go outside and enjoy the fresh air while you still want to. On sunny days where clouds billow through the skies like ships on the water, enjoy walking around and feeling the sunshine on your face.

Who knows, maybe that winter pastiness will even go away. But really, even if you don't want to go for a walk go outside and read or even sit on your computer outside, the fresh air really is quite great. I know a lot of people like to lay outside in the grass and peruse tumblr, and that is perfectly fine, just go outside!

I don't know what it is about the fresh air that calms my nerves, but it does. Right now it's raining otherwise I might be exploring late at night.

Thanks for reading as always, stay awesome! Almost done with the semester, woo!
