Not only is walking good for your body, it is so good for your mind and spirit! It gives you a chance to walk away from your life and just "be". The breathing is wonderful, the sound of your footsteps is rhythmic...Usually the days I really don't feel like doing it, are the days I end up enjoying it the most. It's also great because if you ended up eating junk food during the day (or at night!!) you don't feel so guilty about it.
