Day 344-Woods Walking Wisdom

Here's a bit of woods walking wisdom from me to you:

1). Use the restroom BEFORE you head out on your wooded nature preserve walk.

2). If you disregard #1, then make sure you are not wearing your huge hunter orange sweatshirt when you squat in the heavily used nature preserve.

The lesson? Follow #1 if you don't want to go Number One in the great outdoors. Or maybe the lesson is to hang your coat up and then walk farther into the woods to do your business, but then you've three dogs with wagging tails giving away your position, anyway. 

Whiz,

Day 343-Hello/Goodbye and More Forest Therapy

Funny when you know you're going to leave a place, you have a different appreciation for it than when you first discover it. 

When you first move somewhere, you revel in all the unknowns of it all, and you are delighted and appreciative of all its newness. 

And when you know its time to leave, you have a fondness for all its familiarity, and you appreciate it with a certain longing. 

Today, I took a nice, long walk in one of my favorite spots, and benefited from some forest therapy.

And as I walked along, I remembered how the place first felt when I discovered it. And how it feels now. 

Both are good. Very different, but very good. 

Life is a funny thing, isn't it?

Sigh, 
Dani

Day 342-Sexy Barefoot Style

I had a dream last night where I was walking alongside some friends for hours, and I felt very, very sexy. 

Then I looked down, and saw that I was barefoot. 

Ah-ha. 

That's why. 

To the doctor who told me, when I came to her with my painful plantar fasciitis, that I would never be able to walk barefoot again--HA!

Thanks to using non-drug, non-invasive methods and eschewing orthotics, I cured that issue some years back. Thanks to Restorative Exercise, my feet are now so strong that I can comfortably walk barefoot, and use shoes that I used to feel offered "no support". 

And have sexy barefoot dreams.

Thank you, REx, 
Dani
