Many articles I have been reading lately have been advising us to get back to nature to enhance our inner well being and boost our overall health. If you couldn't think of another reason to put cut flowers in a vase in your home, grow flowers or vegetables in a garden, go for a walk outside, or any of the many other things you can do with and in nature, then just do it to relax!
Everyone in my family loves the outdoors. We sometimes just sit on the front porch (or fall asleep there) and listen to the trees and the birds and feel the wind blow us the sweet and earthy smells of nature.
I love watching our oldest son explore our world--all the bugs, rocks, trees, animals and birds that he discovers on our walks. Now that he can better describe and remember the places we go, I can see and appreciate our wonderful world even more through his eyes and words.
We should be so grateful that we live among such beauty. We should enjoy it, respect it and leave it better than we found it.
