       I find that taking walks out in nature really helps to refresh my spirit. There is something to be said about getting out on a lonely path, with just the grass, trees, and blue sky in the background, not to mention all the animals out and about. Not only is it good exercise, but it reminds you that there is more to this life than the work you are doing. There is more to life than the office and all the papers piled on your desk. There is more to life even than whatever is going on at home. Video games and television are fun, but sometimes they get old. Nature can provide a 3D experience like non-other. It is real, not artificial. It requires you to move your body, instead of just sitting about stagnant. You get to use your senses. You see real things, smell real things, and hear real things. Perhaps even, if you do not wish to experience it all-natural, you can take your headphones and listen to something good as you walk. I do this a lot. You can listen to good, classic sermons from long ago. You can listen to that new audiobook that’s been on your wishlist for months.
