“All truly great thoughts are conceived while walking.”
~Friedrich Nietzsche~
“If you seek creative ideas go walking.”
~Raymond I. OD Myers~
Over a lunch time walk, I had neither a great thought nor a creative one, other than I came up with this post.
I did enjoy the sun on my face, the crisp almost-spring air, and an opportunity to get away from work for 30 minutes.
Sometimes that’s all I need.
This post has been brought to you by two lines, a walk and Linda Hill’s One-Liner Wednesday. If you are wondering what One-Liner Wednesday is all about, CLICK HERE.

I agree. Feeling the exact same way of late.
Happy Wednesday, Ally! I hope you have nice enough weather to get outside and enjoy.
I think that’s the real first sign of spring, being able to walk outside just to be out. What a wonderful path to be able to get to at lunch. More than enough creative thought.
I am fortunate to have these trails so close to where I work and that the temps are warmer than normal. Makes the walks much more enjoyable. 🙂
The office I worked in was in a huge office park. Nothing but buildings near us. We walked around a big block, and the back side was a sleepy residential street. But commercial development is spreading into that area now. Walking is wonderful, but when you have to start by driving (and losing your parking space) it takes away from the fun.
I would substitute “running” for “walking”, but I completely agree! 🙂 You have a beautiful place to walk and ponder.
It’s whatever works, Laurie. Keep running and enjoy your day!
I do believe that’s true!
Yes, it is. 🙂
Good for you–I keep making excuses not to walk, including that I walk in place standing in front of the computer, but it’s not the same at all–
Put on your walking shoes and go! It will be good for you! 🙂
That sounds like a wonderful way to spend your lunch break to me!
It is! I would have done it again today, but the weather is not cooperating.
A long walk is always good for the soul.
It sure is!
😊
I am back on my walking regime. I lost count of consecutive weeks and now for the first time ever I am continuing during vacation. I have become very protective of “my time” said in my Mr. Hand from “Fast Times at Ridgemont High” voice over voice. Walking cures what ails me and the ailment list is long …
Good for you! A big part of healthy habits is keeping them. Keep going!
I walk all year round so I get it. Walking gives me inspiration and sometimes, when necessary, provides an all-important attitude readjustment 😉
Once I retire, my plan is to find the appropriate footwear and keep walking in the winter. Being outside more often that time of year definitely helps to offset shorter days and bad moods.
Exactly! It was Helen who first told me about the saying ‘there is no bad weather, just bad clothing’. It’s true 🙂
Getting out for a walk in the fresh air can be so refreshing.
It truly is, Damyanti. It has turned a little colder again, but plan to dress appropriately and continue to walk.
