I've always been a fan of hiking but it's only been since moving back home to Tennessee in Oct that I'm fully understanding just how good for me it is. Hiking is more than exercise, it's a chance to escape and focus only on what's right in front of me. To focus only on my breathing and my footsteps. There's little room for the day to day worries of life when you're trying not to fall down a mountain.
It's a simple thing really but standing in the forest breathing in the life and energy around me energizes my soul. It lifts my spirits and gives me a sense of control over my mind. It's a reminder to appreciate the things around me. I want to take every moment to experience it.
Forever exploring! Forever humbled by our beautiful, natural world.
