Ashley Hunter 10/18/2024 9:24 AMThis is so true. You notice a lot more. I find it especially when I walk my dog. You are always stopping for them to sniff something, so it allows you to take in the environment and your immediate surroundings. -
Samantha G 10/18/2024 9:09 AMI agree - I tend to notice small things, like flowers blooming in a garden, plants on a windowsill or maybe a cat or dog looking out the window! I think you notice more because your pace is much slower than when driving.
