I admit there is not much to like about living in a pandemic. However, one bright spot is that we are all realizing the magic of outside.
I’ve been pushing myself to go outside for years. (I had to overcome a family culture that did not believe in dirt, among other things…) When I could do distance biking, it was an easy sell because I loved it. After that became less available to my body, it took a while to find something else, but now I love going hiking with my kid.
When we were out last week, we saw dog-walkers, trail runners, and mountain bikers. In the past we have come across kids investigating pretty much every leaf and rock and stump and lichen and bug and their mostly-patient parents. The very air is different under trees or near water or both.
We are blessed to live so close to so many beautiful places. Pop on those shoes and go… it’ll be fun!
