I'm trading my current "Upstairs, Downstairs" work routine for a role I'm going to assume in October … which is primarily lots of "sit down, stand up" comedic-almost, types of exercise, which ends every night with lots of juggling acts, and extended bouts of walking. So I'm looking forward to that change of scenery, come mid-October.
This past week it's been very wet in the Pacific Wonderland, but today holds promise of cotton-candy clouds and tons of sunshine. So I plan to go on a long walk, this afternoon. It's a stretch of about 5 miles... along the river front. I plan to park where my walk ends, but take the train to where my walk begins. Not sure how long it will take me to do it, but I've got a way to pack water and snacks, so I can stay hydrated and not go hungry, should a snack attack interfere with my exercise activity today. I've also got this small compact Coleman chair which is super easy to spring open and sit on, should I need to rest anywhere along the way. Right now, the trees along the river are simply gorgeous, and it's a calming activity to watch boats or watch for birds or watch for any pings upon the water.
The goal of my walking exercise today is to take in all the peace and joy I can absorb and renew my natural settings: To recalibrate my inner peace and joy, while celebrating the whole weekend as Fall Solstice.
