Finding ways to spend more time outside
“In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.”
–Ralph Waldo Emerson
I consider myself ‘outdoorsy’; someone who has enjoyed the outdoors throughout my life. When I reflect my happiest times, memories of youth soccer games, overnight hiking trips, and canoe trips come to mind. My favorite travel has been to destinations that center around multi-day outdoor adventures. Writing this though, I’m reminded of the reality that I have not prioritized getting outside enough. Just as I can fondly recall a hike, I can also remember countless times I sat on the couch scrolling on my phone.
