Backpacking Bonanza
Nature is so refreshing, so rejuvenating, to me. And you already know, I value vacation time quite seriously!
My good friend Penny Dickson and I joined two other friends for three days of backpacking in the White Mountains, right along the border between New Hampshire and Maine.
Hiking – literally – all day long gives you an opportunity to appreciate the strength and capability of the human body. Such a blessing for us all! When making your summer vacation plans, are you baking in natural opportunities to use your body fully? Summer is a great time to forego cars and elevators whenever possible.
Even if you’re going to be in the city, plan to do much of your travel and touring on foot. Bring a bike. Or rent one. Try a nature trail. Walk into town for a little shopping. Savor a new park. Get outdoors and exercise and stretch and USE your wonder-full body. The warmth and brightness of summer is an excellent time to reconnect to this tremendous gift.
