National Walk in the Park Day—March 30


grosbeak thumb National Walk in the Park Day—March 30 Today is a day worth celebrating for both your physical and mental health. Welcome to National Walk in the Park Day!

For me, this is the type of walking. I walk in the neighborhood and to town, but I don’t particularly like either one. It’s okay. I prefer the solitude and the sound of birds singing in the woods. It is like meditating as I fall into a rhythmic pace, swinging my arms to and fro.

I enjoy everything about it. During this time of year, I’m always looking for signs of spring wildflowers. Then, there are the birds, especially the spring warblers and my personal favorite, the rose-breasted grosbeak. Its song is one of the most beautiful you will ever hear while walking, at least I think so.

When stress is wearing you down or the job that you hate, forget all of that for a time. Enjoy the parks, the woods, the birds, and the freedom of being outside. It is Nature’s best medicine.
