Enjoy the scenery

I went on a lovely hike today with a friend I've known since I was about 18 years old. We enjoyed taking a walk down memory lane and getting some exercise. We're both at different ages and stages of life now, but we both agreed that one of the benefits of being a little older is stopping to smell the roses.

When we were younger, we'd power hike and push hard. Granted, I still do at times, but I can also kick back a bit and take in the scenery. The pressure is off to impress anyone, and could just have a nice visit. We did.

Be sure to slow down enough to be in the moment...the here and now, even on your walks down memory lane.
