Taking a morning walk is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It is one of the most underrated exercise. If you do this consistently, it will change your perspective. It is just our time and initiative to go out there and the rest will take its course. During the winter in Lake Bluff, the harsh elements outside can dissuade us to step out, but once you out there, hidden beauty of things around us is ours to discover and looking down to the ground helps us notice the shapes of leaves, the ice, the natural sunlight, the branches laying, the variety of colors and the layers upon layers of hidden things. Just the backyard exploration helps to be mindful of what’s around us. .
