go for more walks in the woods

I went for a walk today, my first since setting up this goal. I enjoyed the peacefulness and the sound of the fall leaves crunching under my feet. My next goal… to walk without my MP3 player to truly enjoy the quiet, that is scary to me for some reason.

I bought a new pair of hiking boots today. My feet feel so much better after today’s hike than after my last hike. I didn’t feel every rock under my feet this time. What a difference a good pair of boots make!

I borrowed one of my hubby’s trekking poles and headed up the hill with him. It was much easier on my knees going downhill with the pole. It also gave me support on the steeper inclines. I think I’ll get me a pair so we can both use two poles. It really was a lovely hike.

Just sort of. There are now woods here. This goal was accomplished in the first place, when it was set originally. I lived near the woods then. But now I live in the city. And I walk a lot. Just not in the woods. There are no woods. Just parks. In the woods, they should have cityparks for people who want to experience a little city.

I am remembering the beauty of autumn….

I think I’ll go look for some mushrooms today. I’d love to find some chantrelles!

I went for a walk in the woods today. It was wet and my shoes are now quite soggy. I could see my breath quite easily and my fingers lost their feeling. I felt bad for them but I also didn’t care. The air tasted good. Better than the air in here. It will be snowing soon. I should get some boots.
