SWITCH OFF...

 





(At least for a little while, just long enough to center ourselves, which I think everyone needs at times. I am not sure who said the above, but they must be a very smart and caring individual. I saw the words and put them in the center of the wreathe of flowers.)

  1. Very good advice. The bible even tells us to be still, and what better place than nature? I would love a wreath like this one!

  5. Excellent advice. Honestly, I can't tell you the last time I watched the news. It leaves me very uninformed but I don't know that the news is always totally accurate anyway.

  9. Every day, usually first thing in the morning as the sun comes up over our mountain view, with a hot cup of coffee, listening to the bird song.

  10. this person does't live in Florida. the heat is like being shut in a steam room at the Y and the key locked and trapped trying to breath under water. also we had an even worse storm last night than the last one..... 50 mph winds and 3 inches of rain in 30 minutes flat... leaving behind the outdoors impossible to be out except at day break the sentiment is good though, but will not be doing that until November. its beautiful and good advice. bob has been watching Olympics which is great because the news is not blaring

    1. Yes, well, that puts a different perspective on things! I remember Gregg saying once that before we were married, he was heading across country to another duty station, going through the desert and rolling up the windows to keep the hot air out. I'm sure this can be taken figuratively too, and as you say, it's a good sentiment :) Glad the Olympics proved a good respite. We have been watching it here too.

  11. Oh boy howdy is that ever so very much true. One of the reasons I love walking outside. However the triple digits have returned so today I walked in our very huge mall near home. 2 1/2 laps around gave me 4,020 steps and 1.2 miles.
    I did get some interesting photos inside though
    Hugs Cecilia

  17. Hi Denise, The climate is too hot right now to go outside...40 degrees in the shade here
    and it'is hard to breath, but when it's cooler, a lot cooler a walk in a garden with a bench to st on is therapeutic indeed.
