@thekittygirl tagged me today to tell me about a new project called the Thoughtful Daily Post started by @wesphilbin. You can post anything from sharing a favorite quote or writing an in-depth piece of a positive nature, whatever you feel is within your grasp on any particular day! The outline of the project can be read here, in his original post:
Many of us spend all day indoors looking at a computer screen, but if we are to thrive, connecting with nature is just as important today as it was to our ancestors.
Taking time in nature each day is vital to our well being.
Take off your shoes and feel the Earth beneath your feet. Bend down and smell a flower. Hang a bird feeder outside your window.
Opt for a picnic in the park instead of a restaurant lunch. Lie down on the ground and look up at the sky.
I saw the first fireflies of the summer last night and was reminded of how much better I sleep at night if I remember to go outdoors before I go to bed and look up at the stars.
The earth is what we all have in common** Wendell Berry
