Connecting With Nature is Good For You!

It was a blustery, rainy day today.  But my friend and I went ahead with our plans to visit White River Provincial Park west of Sayward, BC.  It's a very small park with a cool story.  It's home to old growth Douglas Fir, and it houses a great salmon stream!  What we didn't count on was snow, so we did have to detour a smidge.  And, technically, it wasn't a huge amount of exercise.  But we spent some quality time in the woods with the ancient trees and the wild elk herd.  

Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard University entomologist, coined the term "biophilia", referring to humans' "love of living things" - our innate affinity with nature.  I sure felt that today!  Love the outdoors!!!!

Get outside at least once this week.  You'll feel better because of it.
