... The leisure of my daily walks has frequently been filled with charming contemplations, which I regret having forgot; but will write down those that occur in future; then, every time I read them over, I shall forget my misfortunes, disgraces, and persecutors, on recollecting, and contemplating, the integrity of my own heart.
These sheets will only contain a concise journals of my reveries, treating principally of myself, because a solitary must be very much employed with his own person, but if during my walk other ideas pass through my mind, they shall equally find place...
From The Reveries of The Solitary Walker, First Walk.
I used to walk so much until I forgot why. Eventually, unfortunately; I started getting obsessive about my step count. I miss walking; the way i used to once. This reminded me of why. I can’t wait to walk again.
I couldn't agree more! Wandering stimulates creativity and takes you outside of yourself. I find it also feels restful, and I like the idea of resting in motion.

Thank you for this inspiring quote!

The step count is the enemy of the wanderer! Hope you get back into your stride.
Thank you Caroline! Your response inspired me to wander later!

My best ideas have usually come to me from walking, jogging or biking. Research overwhelmingly supports your missive!
Nice!
