Nature's Tapestry!

Tapestry is richness of design. When I look out in the woods of my backyard, I see such a richness of design. The colors of all different flowers, herbs, trees and animals. Nature has a character all of it's own. The vast array of a multiple of beauty. There is nothing more calming and soothing than putting your feet on the earths ground and walking among the nature's tapestry.

I remember in years past going through some heavy trials. I would take long walks with my devoted Golden Retriever, Brittney. The two of us would walk a couple of miles in the morning, and a couple of miles in the evening. Those long, faithful walks with my four legged companion saved my life. It gave me a chance to escape the daily bustle of home life. It gave me some peace from the "mommy give me this" or "mommy help me with that".

Think about the wisdom of God. Green is a calming color. The grass and green's in nature have a quieting effect on you body and mind. Blue is a calming color. The sky is broad and long.  In the past when my thoughts would be racing and the busyness of life would overwhelm me, I would lay on the grass and just look into the sky. I would stay there until my heart and mind slowed down. It was wonderful therapy and it doesn't cost anything, except a little bit of your time. I even taught my children that tool when they were younger. Your can reach for a another unhealthy substitute, or you can use Nature's Tapestry to bring nourishment to entire body, soul and spirit. I challenge you to give it a try, it's free for the taking.
