Discover nature. Aristotle says it best, "In all things of nature there is something of the marvelous." In our part of the world summer heat holds on through September. But, oh how glorious is October. The cool air is perfect for nature walks. Now you may not live close to a hiking trail or a state park, but you would be surprised how much of nature can be discovered right in your own neighborhood. It's just a matter of taking the time to find it. Early morning walks greet you with birds chirping, the sun shining and fresh, cool air. Squirrels might be scampering in hopes of locating a few more acorns before that first snowfall. Leaves begin to change into their vibrant best, and brightly colored mums are the flower of choice on front porches. There is something about nature that lifts the soul. Nature has a way of inspiring you to continue down that path you have may been neglecting. Nature inspires you to love, and give, and appreciate. Discover nature this autumn.
Challenge: Take that neighborhood walk, and record your findings in your Discovery Journal. Write a paragraph of hope for the coming months. Discover a park in your community you have never explored. Make a date on your calandar to check it out.
Yesterday was such a glorious day. I was at a park with my son and his family. The sun was warm and gentle, the children were running and happy, and I reveled in all that nature offered.
