Walking

I've always been a big fan of walking as a way to relax, to reflect, to recharge.  In a recent meeting I heard a landscape architect claim that there was evidence that the chemical compounds released in forests had a an effect on the brain similar to anti-depressants.  Haven't bothered to track that down, but I did see this article in the NY Times yesterday, "Easing Brain Fatigue with a Walk in the Park."

Turns out that walking in a "green" area may really be good for your brain.  Think I'll go take a walk....
