Good afternoon to you. Easter was nice, church, brunch and back to mom’s for a while. Nothing fancy but a good day.🥰 Hope you had a wonderful one.

Getting together with friends tomorrow who we haven’t seen since late last summer. Having lunch, relaxing and catching up so that should be nice.😊 Stopping at mom’s after so it will be a full day. We are supposed to get some strong storms tomorrow so you know what that means – praying all trees remain standing!⛈🌳

Love the bunny, so cute.🐰 Sending back hugs and love to you and Poppy.🤗💖

Spending Time in Nature

Because we instinctively know that nature is good for us on many levels, it’s not unusual to feel powerfully drawn to it.

In this modern age, we spend so much time indoors, focused on the busyness of our lives and disconnected from the earth. But much of what we truly need can only be found under the naked sky, alongside tall trees, on open plains, or in the sound of running water. Spending time in nature allows us to commune with other living beings and to find comfort in the nurturing embrace of Mother Earth. You can’t help but experience a different sense of self while walking in the woods or traversing a mountainside. Being in nature connects us to the Earth, grounding us as we walk, unhindered by concrete upon her. Surrounded by other living beings, both bigger and smaller than we are, we remember that human beings are simply one form of life in this vast universe.

Because we instinctively know that nature is good for us on many levels, it’s not unusual to feel powerfully drawn to it. Even if you live in a city or find it difficult to travel to a forest or the countryside, there are a myriad of ways to reconnect with nature. When you step out of your door each morning, pause for a minute and close your eyes long enough to let your senses absorb your surroundings. Listen and breathe deeply until you hear the wind rustling through branches, smell rain on damp grass, and see the reflection of leaves brushing up against windowpanes. If you have time, crouch down and closely examine any nearby grass and soil. The sights, sounds, smells, and sensations we experience that are part of nature can remind us of all the gifts Mother Earth grants us each day.

Spending time connecting with nature nourishes the soul, reminds you that you are never truly alone, and renews you by attuning you to the Earth’s natural rhythms. Taking a walk under the stars or feeling the wind on your face may be all it takes for you to reconnect with nature. Remember, you are as much a part of nature as are the leaves on a tree or the water bubbling in a brook.

@kittengirl,

Good Morning Kitten wishing you a great April and a wonderful Spring. 😎🎈😘

@shoelady60,

Good afternoon in the ‘burgh. I hope you are resting and had a wonderful Easter. 😎🎈💕

Hey the system was wonky and I had to start a new thread. I want to say welcome to
April and may this be a good month for all of us. 😘

How is your mother? I miss your sister. 😘💕🎈Lady today my system is very slow.
I am doing the best I can to move along. LOL!

Congrats to your Hockey Team win. YAY! 🎈😎

Sending beautiful spring hugs to you and Jake. 🎈😘💕😎

@taci,

Go Taci with your new bags and congrats. 💕🎈😎Good Morning in S. Cali and I hope
this good day for you.

Looks like you may be going on another trip enjoy. 🎈

Oz is alright today just cloudy with rain. Taci I did get some HD earrings during her visit.
I think HSN had a jet deliver them. LOL! The shipping was so fast! 🎈😎

Poppy and I are going for a long walk after the rains.

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎🎈😘I hope KP is one and done. I think
my kitchen is calling me for a good spring cleaning a one and done job. 😎

Oz is cloudy and rainy just what we need. I have not planted any flowers or plants just yet
because the weather is iffy here in these parts. I will wait another week and see how the
weather looks.

Oodie I could read you talk about the Orient all day. I simply love any thing from the Orient.
I think I may have said years ago I have a blue and white indoor patio which is all windows.
I am not bragging but it is a beautiful room. I have have white planation blinds. This room
is pure Asian in blue and white.🎈💕 The things in that room I have had for years. The things
are high end and I take care of all my little things. 💕

I am hoping your husband will be home soon. I can’t wait until that day comes.

Enjoy the day love ya. 😘😎🎈Oodie I hope you love your TS. 💕

@xango,

Good Morning in Florida sweet friend. 😎😘🎈We all miss you and we just hope you
are feeling and healing better. Take your time and do what you need to do.

I hope the family in Brazil are doing well. How was your Easter?

If you were able to make desserts and other treats I am sure they were yummy. 🎈😘

Welcome to Spring and to the new Thread. I have had threads that have run well over
two years. LOL! I see I need to change it more often. Anyway this is thread number 24.
I could have had twice as many due to the fact I did not change that often. So now I see
I need to be aware how often I have to change it. I have been here at HSN since the 90’s
Xango this thread I created is ten years old. I work very hard on it and I am proud of it.
Most people used to write me on the HSN private mail that they like looking but
they don’t post. Hence, the reason this has never been a large thread.

I enjoy all the girls who have been with me through thick and thin and I have had a lot
going on in these years. Xango you are one of them and I thank you for your time and patience.

Just get well and hope to hear from you when you are able to post. 😘🎈😎

@loaf,

Good Morning on this beautiful first day of April. 😎🎈😘Oz will have rain and I am fine
with that as we need the rain.

Wishing you and your family all the best. I miss and love you Loaf. 😘😎
