We (me, hubby, and our little poppet) spent yesterday outside in the wonderful winter sunshine tramping all over the zoo (her first visit!) Our zoo is on the harbour front and the views are to die for. We all had a great time. Then we went home to dinner cooked by our sons. I'd say it was the best of both worlds ![[Smile]](images/icons/smile.gif) Mind you, we were both so tired we could barely move last night!

Great and truthful point! I've noticed the times when I'm outside and then come back home, I feel so refreshed and renewed.
Absolutely the way to go!

Sugaree, congrats on being an aunt. I have a 3 month old grand-nephew and adore him. It's been so long since we've had a baby in the family and his precious ways remind me of all that innocence and sweetness.

Yes, Dots. This is one reason that my sister let her attend the beautiful delivery of her own child. She is making an attempt to connect with her, to show her the beauty of what she is considering doom.
In many ways, according to our society, she is doomed. But, according to what I've learned about God, He doesn't make trash/doom. So, this is the way my sister an I are approaching her now. We are trying to show her that although she made the decision to bring forth life w/o marriage and a way of supporting a child, God will make a way. I believe that He will make this way by allowing this child the beauty of loving her child so much that she will rise above the negative stigs and continue to educate herself for her and her child's sake.
Sugaree

Ladies: the reason why a time outdoor is so beneficial is that nature brings us back to our Creator. It helps us connect with him. And, of course, offers us many other benefits such as the many described before by all of you! God is great. Nature is God's second book. Through it we can learn and understand more of his character. Remember the many times Jesus taught lessons through examples in nature? So let's enjoy as much as possible the great oudoors and take advantage of the many benefits it provides us emotionally, physically and spiritually!( Now, that goes for you too, Songbird! You NEED to get out more!) ![[Big Grin]](images/icons/grin.gif)

Sheri,
I don't know how long since your loss, but I do know that after I lost my dad, the first months were a terrible blur of grief. I was constantly picking up the phone to call dad w/ some news of the kids. My heart would break all over again when I realized that he wouldn't pick up the phone. So I grabbed a new marble notebook and a good pen, went out back and sat in the yard and began my Dear Daddy Journal. Everytime something happened that i wanted him to know or I missed him or needed advice, I'd write him a letter. Between the fresh air and the "conversation" w/ dad, I always felt a little better. God bless you and give you his peace.
