It’s a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

12:22 pm Random Observations

last summer view by gari.baldi, flickrOk, I couldn’t help it. It’s just such a nice day outside that I had to start this post out that way.

I’ve decided lately that I need to get out and enjoy nature more. I’m not exactly sure how I’m going to do it, I just know that I need to. In fact, last week I needed to go to the bank during work. The nice thing is that a branch of my bank is just down the street. So normally I’m in such a hurry that I’ll drive down there anyway, but last week I decided to walk. I’m glad I did!

So here are some other things I’m going to do this year to get outside more:

  • If I have a long break, try to step outside and take even a 5 minute walk (unless of course it’s 100 degrees outside…).
  • Go on more walks with my wife and kids.
  • Go on a good hike this summer.
  • Get rollerblades and go rollerblading with my wife.

Any other ideas?

    the weather has been getting really nice over here in New York as well. one of the things i absolutely love to do when its warm and sunny is sit in a park, preferably by the water, and eat lunch or chat with friends

    I love walking at the weekends, it’s the only thing that keeps me sane after spending my week in front of the computer. The fact that it’s healthy is just a bonus for me.

    We’ve just moved down to the South Coast (UK) and I can’t wait for the weather to get warm so we can spend our weekends strolling along the beach

    Well you could consider getting a dog. Believe me they’ll make sure you get outside :) Dogs are great for reminding you (or bugging you) to get some fresh air and exercise. Unfortunately they usually want to get out to much.
    Just my tip for your readers.

    This was a feel good post. Thanks for not getting too preachy. That is the problem with most of the bloggers nowadays.

    Looks like you are the kind if guy that keeps simple and that is good to see.

    I cant believe that there are still people out there who wants that walk and who wants to go rollerblading with their wives :)
