Frustrated at a situation, I took a walk today. Now, in Sharon, I live right around the high school, so walking to the lake isn't that far. Walking across Memorial Beach without a camera and a good reason wasn't really enough to get my frustration worked out. So I decided to look at one of the maps and figure out where to go from there. Taking a stroll to find the skating rink seemed like a good idea.
Thus, I stumbled upon a wooded area with maintained trails and workout stations that were built in and placed in such a fashion that they seemed to be part of the scenery.
The trail took me around a beautiful little park and in a round-about way, to the skating rink. The noise is what drew me there first. A group of guys were enjoying their day off of school and were playing a game of hockey. The ice reverberated with light doings and the sound of high-tension wires being plucked. It was eerie, captivating. The trail went past one end of the frozen little pond, looping around past an abandoned building before curling around the other end.
The chance to really enjoy a walk in a wooded area, alone, hasn't ever really come up before. The solitude was a relief. Now that I know it's there, I'll be taking more walks to the area. Not only do I need the exercise, but it helps me center and focus again. It's going to be a great way to unwind from a school or work day.
Back to unpacking.
