Thoughts On Walks
by Thoughts On Walks
Are you thinking of starting a walking routine or looking for a podcast to walk to? Years ago, I started a program of almost daily morning walks. These walks are time for me to contemplate life, and think about topics such as simplicity, simple living, minimalism, history, philosophy (especially Stoicism), living in a small village, self reliance, good books, habits, hobbies, projects, family life, and essentially being a man, husband and father. There have been times when I would go months without missing a daily walk, but typically I get in about 4-5 walks a week. While walking is great exercise, my walking habit is more focused on my mental wellbeing than my physical wellbeing. This podcast was an experiment to develop a habit of recording some of my thoughts and reflections as they manifest on my walk. The podcast is a 10-episode series with the hope building this habit helps me gain more clarity and perspective on my life as I share what's on my mind with you, my anonymous virtual

If you had to pick a location that had a “sense of place,” where would that be? Is it somewhere you’ve visited, somewhere you live or lived? What gave it that sense of place? As I write this, it’s Christmas Eve day in East Aurora, NY. Ironically, we thought we’d be having a green Christmas. It…

If you could go back in time and view history as it was being made as opposed to experiencing it from a historical context, how do you think your views would change? That’s what I was thinking about as I edited and reviewed Episode 6 of Thoughts on Walks. I wondered what my opinion of Elbert...

Episode 6
What is it like for you when you learn the “backstory” of a person, entity or event, and it gives you an entirely new perspective? If you learn something positive, it seems to draw you closer to that person. But when the new perspective is negative, sometimes you can walk away feeling fooled or...

Episode 3
Do you look back to yesterday to gauge your today? I’ve found that I tend to use history as a lens for understanding my present…for assigning relevance to my life today. I talk a bit about that on this episode, and also begin a story about someone I tend to relate to in many ways…Elbert Hubbard…

What are some of your favorite places to go? Today I took my dogs on a little romp in the snow at Knox Farm State Park. As usual, I have to stop and have a sip of coffee from time to time. I thoroughly enjoy my coffee on my walks. This is the press I use for my coffee that I mentioned. We talked…

Have you ever struggled trying to develop a new habit? About 6 years ago I set out to develop a new habit of early morning walks. It was just a test, and when I try something new or test something out that I think I might want to turn into a habit, I commit myself to 30 days. I figure, if it’s...
