Tremendous Trail Traffic Today

Today was awesome for venturing out doors and enjoying some trail miles. Seems that I was not the only one with this idea. The Whitewater Center Trails were overloaded with walkers, runners, and mountain bikers.

As an exercise enthusiast seeing families out enjoying the trails is an awesome sight to behold. Too often these days our children spend the lives looking at high definition LCD screens. What I cannot understand is why they would want to look at a screen full of images when they can immerse themselves in the ultimate real life experience called the outdoors.

Remember, life is about balance. Technology is great. Technology makes lives better and easier. However, technology can also offer us too many opportunities to not get up and do something. This can distract us from experiencing life to the fullest.

Keep “balance” in mind. Before setting down for the two and half hour movie, get out and do something active.
