The holidays are a busy time, what with stuffing my face with ginger-scented goodies and trying to squeeze in some shopping time around work.  Sometimes you can feel that all you are doing is stuff you have to do, leaving little time for relaxation and re-centering.

Although the cold and dark can make a walk feel like the last thing you want to do, once I get outside and the cold invigorates my cheeks and gets my blood moving, I feel terrific.  It can be as simple as a walk around the block with a friend or partner to chat about your day, or walking to a favourite restaurant or cafe in the evening instead of driving.  Or, if you are as lucky to live along a river trail, as I do, a walk is a chance to enjoy a bit of nature in the city.  How lovely is this?
