 "I LOVE to walk for my health, to get out with my dog, have some "awww" moments looking at nature and put me in a good, calm mood."  "Attuning myself with the natural world."  “[I] appreciate being able to the exercise in the quiet of the outdoors. We [my husband and I] have lovely trails near our house and we went out daily as soon as it was light, before other tasks claimed our attention and energy. My theory being that prioritizing [Urban] poling over house and yard work would allow me to regain the energy needed [after illness] to take on those tasks as well.

 "It's a big, beautiful world out there and I keep moving so I am able to enjoy every second I get to spend in it!!!"  "Usually I go for walks and start telling myself the story. I'm imagining and ordering the story, both at once. As I tell it, I get more and more familiar with it. Then, when I sit down to write, it's almost like taking dictation." |
