Seeing signs that carry messages for one's life is fun.
When first reading the above sign, which hangs in my daughter's sunroom, the message resonated.
Just recently, an article noted that people who go outside, even for five minutes, upon waking up, have a better day.
Mother Nature brings us all kinds of gifts----fresh air, blue skies, trees, flowers, shrubs, birds, small animals like chipmunks and baby bunnies, and on and on.
It makes sense to go outside for even a short time, particularly in good weather.
It's there, while listening to the twittering of birds, that we "lose our minds and find our souls."
P.S. According to Wikipedia, John Muir, born in Scotland in 1838, was an American author, botanist, environmental philosopher, and zoologist, among other titles.
He strongly advocated that wilderness be preserved in the United States.
He died in Los Angeles in 1914 but his legacy lives on.
DO YOU REGULARLY GO OUT AND ENJOY THE GIFTS OF MOTHER NATURE?

My son traveled the John Muir trail in the Sierras. I go outside daily as the weather where I live is ideal.
Oh Susan, I love John Muir quotes. He often talks about the mountains, which I can so relate to. I've read many of his delightful quotes. I didn't know he was in Los Angeles when he left this world. I've seen this quote before that hangs in your daughter's sunroom. He appreciated nature so much. And to answer your question,...Yes, I often go out and visit nature. I feel the Holy Spirit all around me when I do, especially up here in the mountains. It's such a peaceful area. I loved your wonderful post today, Susan. And happy first day of July tomorrow!
Of course, I'm out in my garden every morning for at least 3 hours, if the weather is nice, if it's not pouring rain or the sun is scorching, I stay even longer. When I enter the house and look at the walls, I immediately feel dizzy. While I'm outside, I'm healthy. Kind regards, Jasna
