Oh, and I could use water to help my happiness thermometer. Or I need walking trails with dirt and rocks, if there is no water around. And blue skies help, too.
But if it's a paved walking path with no beautiful water in sight, I'm not really enjoying things. I can do a paved path if it has hills, like the one I go to that used to be a golf course. Then it's a great work out!
But to be walking on large boring flat sidewalk with no sights to look at it, is just not for me.
I want to see water. Seeing a lake or stream or river simply takes my breathe away. Makes me stop in my tracks to envy and awe all the blue colors. Makes my heart race with happiness. I smile to myself as I hear the water streaming around rocks or splashing against a shoreline.
Even if no water, as long as there are hills and/or pretty flowers and/or dirt and rocky trail, I am happy.
But a longed paved sidewalk with no view and no hills, is just not for me. I try not to complain or be negative, so this isn't really me complaining, it's more to share I figured out what makes me heart happiest!
Even as I reflect about searching for walking/hiking trails, if I see no water on the google map near the park, I don't investigate it's location and quickly move on to the next potential spot.
I loathed going to a park when it was cloudy two weekends ago, but I still ended up enjoying it to my surprise because the dirt trail was rugged with climbing hills and a lake in the distant. It's more beautiful with crystal clear skies, of course, but the dirt, rocks, hills and water made for a great walking day. See:
But this...Nope, not for me:
This? Yes:
