Today my boyfriend and I decided to unplug and go for a walk in the woods. Like many people, we are both pretty "plugged in" most of the time - me with my constant social media posted/checking and him with his video games and TV. He just moved to a new team at work and I'm in the middle of finales so with such beautiful weather today we decided that it would be a good day to just completely unplug.
We left out phones at home. I brought nothing but a little cash, my charlie card, and my camera. We took a walk in the Fens. It was an area that he had never been to and I was very familiar with. We took along the water past the blooming trees and grazing geese. Nothing but each other and the sounds and sights of nature.
It was refreshing to be able to do this. It is rare that the two of us get days off like this. We're hoping that we can do something like this at least once a month. Everyone needs the opportunity to unplug and recharge every once and a while.
