Ever since I could remember, I have been a slow walker. I used to frustrate the crap out of people I would go walking with (and I probably still do!). I have never been one to rush around, walk as fast as I could, or anything like that. I enjoy walking slowly because it gives me an appreciate for the world around me, something you don't get when you speed through life.
This type of walking has always served me well. I don't get there quickly, but I adjust for that time wise. Yes, I usually arrive places really early, but who the hell complains because you have time to look around before your appointment? I make sure to arrive plenty early places so I can walk around, enjoy my sight seeing and just generally enjoy life.
Waling slowly gives me a chance to really embrace the philosophy of "stop and smell the roses". It's amazing how many small things you notice when you aren't rushing around. I highly recommend it to everyone. Taking that extra moment gives you that many more chances to really appreciate how beautiful everything truly is in this world.
I challenge you all to take a moment and walk a little slower. See what you can see.
Until Next Time.
