Question of the Day: Mood Boosters

Yesterday’s walk made me think of this question. In case you missed my post, here’s the story:

This week has been a lot. It’s been ridiculously hot. It’s been busy and stressful and exhausting. And I feel like every day has come with another “Are you kidding me right now?” moment. Thursday is my day to walk and talk on the phone with my brother, and I always look forward to that, but I still got up feeling a little tired and unmotivated. I thought maybe I’d just stay home or go for a walk around the neighborhood instead of having to get in my car and drive to the trail. But then I thought of one part of my Thursday route, and I changed my mind. Even though it was hot and exhausting, and I wasn’t in the mood, I really just wanted to walk past that one beautiful, peaceful area. So I did.

Do you have something like that? Do you have a special place or a special path that instantly boosts your mood? Where is it?
