As I walk
outside each day, I look around. I inhale the air. I notice the sensation of
the breeze across my face. I am struck by the loveliness of the natural
environment.
The beauty
of nature wraps its arms around me. Today can be my best day or my
worst day. No matter which, nature is right there, waiting to guide me through
my life.
I feel
grateful each time I think about the natural world. Although I believe it will
always be there for me, I still gasp in sheer joy when I see deep purple blooms
on the bushes or snowflakes falling from the sky.
The rich,
green grass of summer tickles my nose with its aroma. This entices me to linger
outdoors a few minutes more.
If a
troubling thought nags at my mind, I take a walk in the open air. I breathe
in, I breathe out. The aromas of nature and the caress of the breeze rise up to
meet me. Each time, I find what I need to continue with my day.
When I am
outdoors, I momentarily forget about the stresses of life. Any unsettling feelings
I am experiencing dissolve. I am sustained by nature's sweet song.
Today, I
promise to take intimate notice of nature's backdrop. The color of the sky, the faint
fragrance in the air, and the sound of the trees rustling in the breeze all
call out to me. The beauty of nature, ever-present, sustains me.
