Afraid, Lonely or just Unhappy

Ever feel grumpy or unhappy? Get up from your chair and take a quick walk in nature. Look for signs of nature's beauty as you walk. It will cheer you right up. A sunny day, a light breeze, a temperature perfect for sitting outside without a jacket-such days make us feel happy, at peace with the world, grateful.

Walking in the rain, making snow angels, or watching the wind whip the trees also can make us feel happy. Nature keeps us grounded in what's real. Winter will balance summer, giving the land time to renew itself while wind sends seeds flying to give birth to new plants in other places.

"The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens, nature and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nture" by Anne Frank

We enjoy our time alone but there is something wonderful about time spent with friends and family we love that can't be matched by oour time alone. We would all be much happier if we always kept those who make us happy close to us.

HUG A LOVED ONE TODAY, and realiize how happy you are that this person is part of your life.
