These Boots are made for Walking


Dressing for the cold weather and slugging through the snow can be challenging at best. If your only destination is to hop in the car and insulate yourself from the outdoor conditions, slugging seems that much more difficult. A quick jaunt in the landscape is often the best way to get rid of the winter doldrums and liven up your spirits. Take Howard Thurman’s advice. "Ask yourself what makes you come alive. And then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive."

For me, getting outside and embracing the elements wakes me up. The cold air clears the lungs and gets the blood flowing. So before the next storm, bundle up and grab a good pair of boots made for winter walking. Enjoy a brisk jaunt in the woods. The pristine landscape and winter elements are breathtaking.

When the weather packs its next punch, pick up the latest gardening book, catalog or schedule a winter seminar before the spring flowers pop up. Each season has a reason. Find what makes you come alive in winter.
