Today, I spent the day on my property in the woods. I live in Florida, and it is hot. But in the woods, the temperature feels different. I spent the day exploring and listening to the breeze in the trees and feeling it on my skin. This is my safe place, my escape from the daily grind. There is no power and no cell phone service. I am there with myself, the trees, the sky, the water, and the living creatures. I am healed and regenerated by my time there. I can again revel in the joy of being alive and living in my skin. The emotional damage of the week and the emptiness of my soul that leads me to feel depressed or unworthy is erased. I once again love life and the beauty around me.

Life is good when you allow it to be and allow yourself to enjoy the world you inhabit.
