[ADVERT]I find it very hard to sit still, so unless I have a very good reason to stay in one place, I am usually on the go. But a few times I have arrived at a spot not knowing what to expect, only to be presented with the most breathtaking view. During was those times, I give myself permission to sit still and enjoy the moment; okay, maybe a few moments.
