It reminded me how walking is truly a solution that begets solutions. By walking instead of getting in my car:
- I don't have to spend time going to the gym. That decreases my carbon footprint and increases the time I can do other things -- like volunteer at our schools and for my county.
- I feel a connection to nature and hence, have improved spiritual health as well as physical health.
- I get to talk to my children one-on-one as I walk each to a different bus stop each morning (one is in high school and the other is in middle school).
- I get to see more of my neighbors, bringing about a greater sense of community.
- I get to rescue the worms that end up on the sidewalks during rain
Walking instead of getting in your car: increases one's spiritual health, physical health, and social well-being while saving money and time!
