About San Diego POV
My daughter calls it my “brain removal.” The doctor said 100% recovery from an unexpected seizure was attainable, but only if I changed my lifestyle.
The prescription? Walking. Lots and lots of it.
Fortunately, I happen to live in one of the most walkable cities out there. So I now aim to hit 3 miles a day. (And yes, I’ve recovered, by the way. Probably somewhere in the 110% territory.)
A Photographic Journal
I’d quickly add that walking simply for the sake of counting steps has the potential to bore me silly. So I’ve layered it a bit:
Mix it up by visiting the many cool neighborhoods and sites of San Diego. That suits my explorer instincts.
Snap some pics as I go. We’ve each got an appetite for creativity, after all. This feeds it.
Listen to tunes on Spotify (while being over-cautious about safety), which offers every tune out there. Great way to add a little audio exploration to the hour.
Appreciate the daily break and make it worthwhile. For me, that means use the opportunities to gain perspective, connect with God, and get to know my home town a little better.
Why a website?
I’ve been collecting a ton of photos, sorting out the best, and posting my walks on Facebook, along with some commentary along the way. There has been a good response, and many have suggested that I put them all in one place for broader, interactive access.
This website is the solution.
POV
That’s where the POV — point of view — comes in. Everyone has a perspective they bring to life. Mine includes elements of exploration, pride of place, beauty, novelty, humanity, the sacred, and at least a little sense of humor.
