Thought/quote during this warm & sunny March

A quote I wish to share during this sunny (relatively) warm spring-like time in Colorado (usually March is the snowiest month here, not this year at all – so far!) :

“To find the universal elements enough, to find the air and the water exhilarating, to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night, to be elated over a bird’s nest or a wildflower in spring — these are some of the rewards of the simple life.” – John Burroughs, 19th century naturalist & essayist.

Wherever you live, take time to experience the natural beauty around you. In the city, or in the country, open your eyes to the natural world, as life blossoms all around you during this season. Nature is there, just look and see! For it brings a happiness and solace which soothes, rejuvenates, and inspires!
