Heather Waring's Journey: Finding Peace in Nature and Walking
Walking is so much part of my everyday life that I bring it in there without always thinking. And you know, if I don't do it, my god, I know, I get kind of well, that brain fog comes in a bit, I kind of find myself just not so clear, not quite so on it, and I end up just getting a bit angsty and kind of uneasy.
