I like the "jangly bits" expression.<br /> CS, I love swimming even more than walking but it's too cold for me right now, even though I have the full gear. Oh, I should explain, I'm a sea swimmer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1011344 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 15:40:49 +0000 chewyspaghetti 1011344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is how I feel about my swimming. I do it for exercise, but also to clear my head, deal with stress and for thinking time. When I have something that I really need to think about, I will swim extra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1011176 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 12:10:37 +0000 Jaime 1011176@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also a big walker saying hi!&nbsp;I rely&nbsp;on my walks to sort out all the jangly thoughts and worries of the day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1011134 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 11:24:55 +0000 Lantana 1011134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hey thanks Archer and thanks too for the nod on Anna's thread. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1011131 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 11:13:52 +0000 Archer 1011131@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love the wisdom. Thanks so much for sharing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1011033 Thu, 22 Aug 2013 04:07:41 +0000 Lantana 1011033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hail fellow walkers!<br /> Ami, you're right, there's no substitute for getting outside but the important thing is you are exercising, and I understand perfectly that you need that, even if you are an ultra busy MOTG and home schooler.<br /> I am busy all day long (I doubt as busy as you though) and much of it is heavy duty labour but the walk addresses different physical and emotional needs.<br /> Linda there is nothing like a new pup in the family. What a lovely bonus for your summer. My darling Shep is 4 now but there's still a bit of pup in him. He will always be my baby -and he knows it.<br /> Elly, I love what you say about the distraction of nature. And the restorative powers of a shower, or a bath or a swim, often bring me clarity too.<br /> Julie, you're lucky to have a beautiful park nearby and it must smell delicious to walk in a pine forest.<br /> Gaylene it's such a treat to hear of your hikes in the snow. It sounds so adventurous to me. Like Lyn I love your idea of mixing train and shank's pony, they are my two favourite ways to immerse myself in another landscape. I haven't walked the other cities you mention but this time last year I was happily hoofing it around Paris. Now there is a city made for walkers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010772 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 22:14:40 +0000 Lyn D. 1010772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Taking public transport and walking back&nbsp;is a great idea Gaylene.<br />We see so much more around us when we aren't speeding past in a car! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010762 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:44:31 +0000 Gaylene 1010762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been a walker all my life and I totally agree with your "Resolution Corner".</p> <p>My husband teases me that, now that we don't have a dog, he still has to walk his wife regularly to keep her in a good mood. In the winter, if we aren't downhill skiing, we often go on day hikes with snowshoes in the foothills nearby. </p> <p>I'm also fortunate to have a sister who loves to walk as much as I do. Since her husband has a second house in West Sussex near the coast, we often use that as a base for day-long walking trips in the South Downs and along the Channel. One of our favorite things to do is to take the train to a destination about 10-15 miles away and then make our way home on foot. We've also had fun exploring cities like London, Paris, Prague, and Budapest on foot, as well as the surrounding countryside.</p> <p>Walking is great exercise, but even better for the soul.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010755 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 21:31:13 +0000 JulieJohn 1010755@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, we love walking too, and try to do it every day. We have a lovely park nearby with huge pine trees. It's fun to watch the pinecones mature as the year goes on, and then to see them fall. This whole area used to be walnut groves, and there are some old walnut trees at the park too, the crows love them. Nice thread, Lantana! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010510 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 16:37:23 +0000 Elly 1010510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to go on walks. I too enjoy walking alone and it often seems to work out situations in my mind while I'm distracted with nature. I love dogs, but unfortunately my pooch has gotten to the age where we take short walks around the property, but he won't keep up with me. I also enjoy walking with the SO and talking over things. </p> <p>My other favorite place to work things out is in the shower! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010440 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 15:02:47 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 1010440@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The summer, and a new pup, has gotten me outside for my workouts instead of in my basement.&nbsp; It's wonderful, sometimes we walk or run twice a day on the weekends. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010256 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 12:21:43 +0000 amiable 1010256@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I traded walking outside for working out indoors with youtube over the summer. &nbsp;I must admit, I miss it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010191 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:40:34 +0000 Lantana 1010191@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sounds good Suz. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010187 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 10:30:01 +0000 Suz 1010187@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love to walk, too, Lantana. But like Deborah, lately I've been letting my busyness get in the way of it. I am going to change that thanks to your post.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010162 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 09:15:41 +0000 Lyn D. 1010162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How nice that you remember my pooch!<br />She really is a faithful (but fairweather Friend)&nbsp;<br />These days if it is raining she turns up her long nose at venturing outside :)<br />Like you Deborah, my DD usually walks with me after dinner, often in companionable silence. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010148 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:32:27 +0000 Lantana 1010148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How lovely for you Deborah to have that mother son time together.<br /> Hope you will share when "the new family member" comes on the scene. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010144 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 08:23:02 +0000 Deborah 1010144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing this Lantana, it is very inspiring. I used to walk a lot but in recent times I have allowed the busyness of life to get in the way of having this lovely quiet time. But for the past two weeks Master 10 and I have been going for short walks at the end of the day in preparation for a new family member ( that Master 10 will be responsible for) and it has been just lovely. We have had some wonderful talks and other times just walked quietly together lost in our own thoughts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010137 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:57:14 +0000 Lantana 1010137@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, sad about your dogs Caroline. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010135 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 07:48:42 +0000 Caro in Oz 1010135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Walking is great therapy for me too&nbsp;- physical &amp; mental. I love being near the river &amp; the beach. I do miss my dogs though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010124 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 06:16:14 +0000 Lantana 1010124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn, wow, three times daily. That is beautiful and so special for you to share that time outdoors with your GSHP.<br /> I really like what you say about deeper beauty and your body's more relaxed, forgiving and accepting nature.<br /> There's a difference between acceptance and giving up; I aspire to the former and battle the latter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010121 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 05:43:39 +0000 Lyn D. 1010121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am with you Lantana!<br />Love walking and out I go rain, hail or shine, with or without dog 3 times daily.<br />You are lucky to have the beach, but at least once a day I walk through a park and enjoy the trees and grass.<br />My favourite tree is a beautiful gum with smooth white bark. I adore the way it 'wrinkles' at the branch junctions. When I see this I am thankful that I have reached an age where I can appreciate my own body for its more relaxed, &nbsp;forgiving and accepting nature. I can see the deeper beauty within myself and others too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/walking-to-resolution-corner#post-1010108 Wed, 21 Aug 2013 04:49:06 +0000 Lantana 1010108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A few posts referring to walking got me thinking how important it is in my life, a treat for heart and soul.<br /> I walk twice a day, usually along our beach but occasionally through the neighbour's paddocks. I walk with two pooches, Shep the Border Collie and Fifi, the Westillion. Woe betide me if I should attempt to leave them behind.<br /> When I was still in the world of paid work I walked every afternoon. Invariably I'd be saddled with work issues, large and small, negative and positive. I would walk and walk, chewing and fashing over things until I reached a point where it all fell into perspective. I'd reached what I came to think of as "resolution corner".<br /> It wasn't as though all the problems had disappeared or even that solutions had miraculously presented themselves. It was just that they settled into perspective and I knew I'd be able to deal with them. Endorphins at work? No doubt but whatever the mechanism, I'd turn for home in a happier frame of mind.<br /> Sharing this for no particular reason apart from the love of walking. </p>
