The great outdoors-

  This may sound strange to some, but I’ve never been an outdoors kind of girl.  I do not enjoy the smell of wet grass, cut grass any type of grass to say the least.  Growing up I was a girl scout and the worst thing in the world was when we had to go “camping” mind you it was in a cabin, but I still slept in a sleeping bag on the floor.  My friends for years have tried to get me to go tubing down the Delaware Watergate, nope never has happened.

Now do not get me wrong I love flowers and the beach and clear blue water, give me any of those things and I will forever be a happy girl. When it comes to dirt and bugs, whatever else tends to deal with the outdoors. I am pretty much just a baby at the end of the day.

So, you may wonder what’s stepping outside of my comfort zone in regard to the outdoors. Well I will tell you and I am sure many will laugh. I have taken up walking, to me that is a big thing, just going on a walk that lasts a couple miles outside is something very new and different for me. I would have preferred a treadmill or elliptical of you would have asked me that question about a year ago. However, being outside walking up the hills, down the hills in my town, it’s something I’ve grown very fond of and it has become so freeing in a sense. It has become my time to clear my head to just listen to my music and challenge myself to walk a little further each time.  

The idea of possibly doing a hike does not sound so scary anymore. Maybe I can finally do one without feeling like I’m going to not be able to do it or fall. Whether I figure out how to get over my fear of snakes, well that’s another story completely. what small step out of your comfort zone are you taking?.
