Just a wee thing I would like to share. Just recently I have been leaving my bike behind and walking everywhere. I am intending to walk the Camino de Santiago shortly (pilgrims route that goes from south west France across the north of Spain to Santiago de Compostela) so am trying to walk between 15 and 20k every day to prepare myself. Most of this takes place in the countryside or on fairly minor roads so I have plenty of opportunity to practice mindful walking; but today I had to make my way home alongside a major highway so things had to change a bit. Without even being aware of it I was singing at the top of my lungs about anything and everything, a passing bird, a beautiful or unusual plant all got the "is worth putting into song" treatment. There was no pondering the past, planning the future, only being there in the present and enjoying every second of it. I can never get used to how life can be so full of joy on a daily basis if we just take the time to look round and see it in all it's glory!
