\"\"<\/p>\n

There is a list of things I wish I could do every day:
\ndrawing, photography, meditation, weightlifting, writing–to list my favorites.
\nBut there’s always an excuse, some reason why I can’t do these things all the time<\/em>. Really, there isn’t enough time in a day for me to be able to do all the things I love every day, while still working a full time job. That’s okay.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite all the excuses, all the work I have to do, the responsibilities I have, the plans and commitments, there actually is one thing that I am disciplined enough to do each and every day.<\/p>\n

As simple as it is, I walk. Every day. One mile or more.
\nIn rain, in snow, in heat, in the dark. There is no excuse, other than illness or injury, that keeps me from getting out there for a walk.
\nToday is day 56 of consecutive walking days. I have had much longer streaks than that.
\nI walk around my neighborhood. I walk around my side job’s client’s neighborhoods. I walk at the beach. In the woods. In towns. In cities. If given the choice between driving and walking, I walk.
\nWalking is my zen time. It is my exercise, my meditation, my creative practice. I often write haiku or take photos on my walks. Sometimes I stop to draw. I think of things I can write about, I think of nothing at all. I don’t think about work. I listen to the birds, the waves, the passing traffic. Rarely, I will listen to music with one earbud. Occasionally I might talk on the phone, but only with really special people.<\/p>\n

Today it downpoured. It’s windy. The path was flooded, the streams were raging. My socks got wet. My pants and jacket were soaked. But I walked more than 2 miles, and would have kept going had I not been breaking in a new pair of rainboots.<\/p>\n

Some days are harder than others to get out there. But I never feel bad after a walk. Would you like to join me?<\/p>\n
