I have always wanted to write a real blog, you know one that was truly personal and not a business blog like my others about travel, restaurant reviews and websites. This is what this blog is all about; my random thoughts that come to me on my long daily walks that are doing so much for my body, mind and spirit.
I walk about 5 miles a day along the banks of the Delaware River. It is a marvelous place to walk because the path is well maintained and everyone is free to use it and the scenery is so beautiful. The walks are great for my physical health, but they also are doing wonders for my mental health and my spiritual well being.
I will reveal something here that is very personal, but I want to share this because I think it might help someone. I started walking because my life seemed hopeless a short time ago. I am in the process of walking out of a severe depression that hit last year when my former classmates from high school invited me to my 30th Class Reunion. For some insane reason, this invitation and the thought of going sent me into a six month long downward spiral that I thought I would never recover from. In my desperation, a friend of mine recommended the book “You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise Hay. It helped me to grab a hold of the few strands of reality left in my life and I have been slowly walking out into the light since then.
My walks are in a very true sense, saving my life. These words are a record of my steps on this walk.
Gotta go for now, I am off to do my walk and to learn a bit more about myself and the universe.
Peace.
