I traded my sunrise walk for porch coffee and the silence is better

I used to walk 2 miles every morning at 5:30 around the lake near my place in Boise. Thought it was the only way to clear my head. Then my knee acted up for about 3 weeks so I just sat on the porch with my mug instead. Now I get why people skip the effort. The birds, the air, no pavement noise. I feel more reset than I ever did walking. Am I missing something or do others prefer sitting still too?
