As I’ve recently mentioned, I miss spending time appreciating nature in my parents’ backyard. I took this picture while I was still staying there (probably two months ago), and there were actually two turtles before Kahlua scared the other one off. I’d really like to find a place with lots of wild animals within walking or bike riding distance, but I don’t think one exists. Maybe I’ll have to settle for a place with lots of squirrels.
Regardless of your religion or lack thereof, the statement is so true. There’s something about being outdoors in a beautiful setting and soaking it all in that takes you just a little bit higher. It’s a tiny little reminder that there’s so much to be grateful for and so much more to life. And that is why I miss my parents’ back yard.
