How many trees do you pass on a daily basis?
Most people go by dozens of these gems of nature but how many people stop and take time to really look at them?
Peering up into the branches of a tree that has been around for a couple hundred years has got to be one of life's greatest yet most simple pleasures. Standing beneath a canopy of leafy branches is a humbling experience.
Whenever life's difficulties weigh heavily on the heart, take a walk outside. Find a tree and really look at it. Let your eyes go all the way up to the top, where the birds build nests and squirrels do circus acrobats.
Isn't it wonderful that such a simple pleasure can fill you with awe?
Today's post was written for a Simple Pleasures party at Dayle's blog, A Collection of This and That http://alittleofthisandthat2.blogspot.com/ It's fun to see what constitutes a Simple Pleasure for others, too, so check out all the other entries. It's a lot of fun. Dayle's blog button is in the sidebar, too!
