And there's a stretch where there are streams and beaver ponds--seeing the beavers was my reward earlier in the spring. The bike path closer to my house is more industrial (I live in an old mill town)--still nice, but I treasure those weekly runs in Amherst. No matter what's going on, I always feel better afterward.Sue Dickmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964270562532579030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-10765314198273388842010-05-14T18:26:51.653-07:002010-05-14T18:26:51.653-07:00It's funny as I read your post I'm thinkin...It's funny as I read your post I'm thinking of all the watery spots I've found inspiration in places I've lived. A small lake in Michigan, the Hudson in NYC, a harbor in Southern California, a pond in London's Hampstead Heath, a night on a river in China lit with candles floating in paper boats -- and now some falls on the Potomac where I hike whenever I get a chance....thanks for the reminder.Kathyhttp://outandemployed.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-48259810254971777652010-05-14T17:33:36.990-07:002010-05-14T17:33:36.990-07:00I walk by a pond around a golf course. elps me cal...I walk by a pond around a golf course. elps me calm down and inspires good ideas.<br />Lisa<br />www.singleparentsavings.wordpress.comLisaSamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03898734336538672588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-792745986850454057.post-21895238955676962082010-05-14T11:41:23.390-07:002010-05-14T11:41:23.390-07:00Barb, I agree about the free therapy on walks with...Barb, I agree about the free therapy on walks with girlfriends. <br /><br />Brette, I agree that a walk anywhere, even a mall, is a good idea.

There's a resort near me that has one; it mimics a natural waterfall on the Walpai Reservation in Northern Arizona. I visit this resort a lot.
