Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk...

Yesterday, Rick was telling me about an interview he heard with Rush Limbaugh. It was about how much weight he has lost. He talked about the "diet" Rush was on, and then said that Rush thinks exercise is unnecessary for losing weight. I love Rush, but I just have to disagree. Yes, it's important to eat right. But, everyone should exercise. My favorite exercise (and just about the only one I can do right now) is walking. I've found the perfect place (AF Cemetery), the perfect time (early morning and after dinner), and the perfect music (soundtrack from August Rush). The following people share my enthusiasm and joy:

“Me thinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.”
-Henry David Thoreau

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
-John Muir

“Walks. The body advances, while the mind flutters around it like a bird.”
-Jules Renard

“I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read and all the friends I want to see.”
-John Burroughs

“Walking: the most ancient exercise and still the best modern exercise.”
-Carrie Latet

“An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.”
-Henry David Thoreau

“In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
-John Muir

“All truly great thoughts are conceived by walking.”
-Friedrich Nietzsche

“Today I have grown taller from walking with the trees. “
-Karle Wilson Baker

“If you are seeking creative ideas, go out walking. Angels whisper to a man when he goes for a walk.”
-Raymond Inmon

“Of all exercises walking is the best.”
-Thomas Jefferson

“Meandering leads to perfection.”
-Lao Tzu


There is nothing like walking - especially in the special place I've found. Walking through a cemetery is peaceful and quiet. It's beautiful. The trees and grass talk to you. The birds fly around you. The headstones breath life into you. Go for a walk - you'll feel great when you're through.
