Quince Park in October
1. Watching a pill bug cross the street in front of you.
2. Feeling the shift in the wind patterns.
3. Hearing the sound of dry leaves skittering across the road.
4.Waving to fellow pedestrians.
5. Smelling the scents of people’s dinners cooking as you pass by their houses.
6. The feel of the cold air and the warm sun.
7. Noticing the brilliant leaves slowly changing colors and blowing into the spokes of your bike as your ride by.
8. The sound of kids giggling as they get off the school buses, and the nearby barking of dogs waiting for their human companions to step through the front door.
9. The clean, crisp scent of fall.
10. The meditative calm that washes over you as you pedal, pedal, pedal to your destination.
I love this! So true … and to that i’ll add:
* seeing people’s gardens & landscapes
* clean air to breathe in & help the immune system
* 1 hour =400 calories burned!
PS- power was out in a section of neighborhood the other night & i finally know what you mean about riding in pitch dark! Mama needa stronger headlamp!
my ride over the bridge between brooklyn and manhattan is my meditation every day…because there are no lights or cars to worry about so it’s more calming than the rest of the ride.
this is so true. the smells, the sounds….
lovely!
also- i totally missed when you were making and selling the CUTEST hats ever??? LOVE them!
(just took a peek at your shop and saw them 
)
@EcoYogini: Thanks for the hat compliment! LOL. Yeah, I put those up about a week ago – I have a surplus of knitted items!
It’s a great stress reliever!
