Nature Is The Best Therapy

Last year around this time our German Shepard Izzy got on the table and ate our steaks. I was furious. I am sorry, but I can't stand it when animals are on the table. Yes I think it is horrid for a cat to be on the table too. Litter box + paws= Uhhhh nasty! Anyhow I was so livid and started to rant. As I was trying to calm down I noticed these ducks that nested in our tree last year is back this year, and of course they fly during ducks so it's hard to see. I instantly calmed down. (Don't worry...I didn't direct anything toward Izzy. She just really ticked me off. She has more sense than that). So Trav and I begin to look up birds in Ohio and I have to tell you I felt like my anger completely lifted. I was so happy, and admiring all of the beautiful birds that we get here in Ohio.

The next day a wind storm blew over our organic tomato flats and little baby seedlings that were just making their way out were all over the deck. I was almost in tears. 6X6=36 organic tomato plants that we can use, give away, and can for the winter. I was almost in tears and once again felt my blood boiling. I looked over to our tree, Albert, and saw Chickadees. No longer devastated  I watched them for a minute, and felt at piece. Trav helped save what little bebes he could and it was all good.

I have found that in the worst of moods or happenings in my own life I have always ran to nature to nurture me. To sooth me. To rescue me. I wish others would do the same. As brutal as nature can be, it is also so very therapeutic. If we all could just use nature as our therapy we would all understand the importance of preservation through appreciation. I believe we would all be better inside, less agitated, more relaxed, and think efficiently. We would all demonstrate what a piece of mind really is.
