There is a wonderful ring to the word, saunter. It implies a leisurely walk with no destination in mind, a time to let go of stress and just take a stroll. Welcome to World Sauntering Day!
How refreshing to know that such a day even exists! Here is a holiday to remember ourselves to slow down. Forget the deadlines. Forget the rushing. Now is the time for a pleasant walk, taking in the sights.
While I do bike, I prefer to walk for my cardio activity. Anything other than walking is too fast for my tastes. I’ll miss the spring wildflowers just coming up or the deer standing still while we pass. I may even miss the $20 bill someone lost while running down this same path.
This is the kind of holiday that I will make it a point to remember and celebrate. Anyone up for a stroll in the park?
