November 17–Take a Hike Day
Today is Take a Hike Day. What better way to celebrate and do just that. Hiking allows you to forget everyday troubles and let Nature and the wind and the sun provide answers and relief.
Hiking is one of the most pleasurable activities I know. It’s an opportunity to re-connect with Nature. I take the time to smell the air, look for wildflowers and animal sign. I try to get to know the place where I’m hiking. I try to discover the signs of wildlife, now hidden from me. I yearn to learn the stories.
It doesn’t have to be a grand, three-day jaunt. Even an hour on the trails has restorative powers. For all that ails you, Nature has a cure. You have only to listen.
