Are you always in a hurry? Are you rushing around to get everything done? Slow down. In fact, try moseying around on June 19 because it’s World Sauntering Day. This day encourages people to stroll, ramble, and wander.
Saunter is a slow style of walking while carrying a cheerful attitude. Those who saunter don’t hurry. They look at wonders of nature and enjoy the weather. There’s no schedule and time has no meaning.
A wooded path or beach make for excellent saunters. They offer visual and auditory stimulation while allowing the mind to wander. Tranquil city parks present plenty of people watching opportunities, as well as comfortable benches and scenic views to ponder on a lazy afternoon.
Step out the back door or take time on your lunch break. Stroll down a quiet street or in the park. Saunter down to your favorite bookstore. Take in the view, the people, the scenery – leisurely. And enjoy life most of all!
