Yesterday, John and I went to the Silver Comet Trail and walked for 6.5 miles. Despite living in Georgia for over a decade, I had never visited the trail. For the past few months, I have been wanting to check out the trail, but didn't have the chance until yesterday.
I have been going through a roller coaster of emotions. So many good things are happening, but I have also been really stressed and a bit overwhelmed. I really felt that I needed a few hours of just feeling at peace and a restart.
Going to the trail was just what I needed! John and I had so much fun on the trail. We talked about everything and saw so many cool things. We saw tons of caterpillars, berries, a woodpecker, and a snake! A grasshopper jumped on me which freaked me out because I thought that it was one of those huge flying bugs that I am terrified of.
There were also times where we were silent. I felt so peaceful and even got a few ideas for new projects. It was so nice to just hear the sounds of nature...I can't even describe how amazing it felt. I nearly wanted to cry at how calm everything including myself felt.
I plan to visit the Silver Comet Trail more often and explore it some more. I highly recommend this trail and I can't wait for my next visit.
Have you been to the Silver Comet Trail? Are there any trails that you love?
Thanks for visiting!
Until next time...
This sounds amazing. Being in nature has a way of calming one and it is a wonderful de-stresser. I'm glad you enjoyed the trail and felt calm afterwards.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Going for a walk on the trail was just what I needed. Have a great weekend.
DeleteSounds like an incredible experience, and I'm so glad you were able to calm your mind for a few moments and enjoy the stillness and beauty of Mother Nature. There's a word for this you know! It's called "Shinrin Yoku and it means "forest bathing"--the Japanese think this is a wonderful meditative practice <3
ReplyDeleteIt was amazing! I can see why so many people love nature and hiking. Have a great weekend.
DeleteI have never heard of this trail before - although I am not from that area. I do find that taking a nice hike or walk is just so refreshing and good for my soul. I've been taking a lot of them lately with my son. It helps his anxiety too. I'm glad it left you feeling good inside.
ReplyDeleteThank you. It was truly amazing. I plan on going to the trail more often. Have a great weekend.
DeleteGood for you! I discovered walks in nature are hugely therapeutic and have been hiking my boots off lately. We all need some quiet time in the woods.
ReplyDeleteIt was so amazing and a great way to exercise. Have a great weekend.
DeleteI'm glad you had a chance to go walk the trail and clear your mind and also connect with John that way. Sometimes we need to go someplace quiet and peaceful like that! It looks like it was beautiful too!

Thank you Lauren. It was amazing and I plan to visit more often.
DeleteI love hearing stories like this when I am in a place of stress and overwhelming stuff. Nature can always bring me back to center, even if just for a little while. I am glad you have a calming walk!
ReplyDeleteThank you Trish. I can see why so many people love nature and hiking. It was such an amazing experience and was so nice to visit a new to me place.
DeleteThis trail sound so tranquil! Glad you found it. Here's to many more enjoyable walks!
ReplyDeleteThank you Penny. I can't believe that it took me this long to actually visit the trail, but I'm so glad that I finally took the time to check it out. Have a great weekend.
DeleteThis is how I feel at the beach. In our own little cove or in the water, I can drown out the world and just be. I sleep quick and hard when the waves are singing to me. There are a few trails here I love to hike. Actually, I really need to visit a few before the year is up. Im going to do that!
ReplyDeleteI haven't been to the beach in a long time, but I have such great memories of when I was at the beach. There are so many beautiful beaches and the sounds of waves are amazing. Have a great weekend.
