Step away from the computer
Posted on December 26, 2012
Solutions often come when you take a break, focus on another task, and return with a widened perspective. Also, it never hurts to get a little exercise. You never know who you might run into on the trail, in the gym, or just taking a walk around the neighborhood. Actually, it is quite common to hear Brad Wright say, as he’s going out the door, ‘Going for a walk around the block.’ Whether it is to get in a little midday exercise or to take a much-needed break and get some fresh air, he is not alone in needing to step away periodically from what is all-consuming and perhaps find a little perspective. Sometimes those walks have added benefits like a fresh cup of coffee from around the corner or a bowl of ice cream from the shop down the street. We are lucky that in downtown Columbia, Missouri, we have much to enjoy within walking or biking distance, and even luckier when we meet someone we know along the way. So go ahead, put down that electronic device, step away from the computer, and get to the business of reconnecting. Your heart and mind will thank you. See you ‘round the corner!
