A reminder of who I am!

Today I've been out in the nature with some of my really good friends! We walked quite a bit, talked, laughed and reflected a bit on our lives. It was a great day, the sun was shining, the air was fresh and crisp and the scenery was absolutely amazing!! The main reason to why we where out and about was that one of my friends is studying "outdoors pedagogy" and she is assigned to take three different groups outdoors and give them a nature experience. I am really grateful that she asked me to come along! It gave me an opportunity to be outside and really enjoy the world as it is created and how it is intended for us to be enjoyed! It was waaaaay too long ago since I was out in the nature a whole day! I loved it! At one point during the day we were asked to go our seperate ways and go out and explore and enjoy the nature on our own for a short while. I walked down to a small cliff and watched the waves and enjoyed the sounds of the waves and the sun warming my face! As I sat there I felt really calm and I really felt an appreciation for the beautiful scenery! ..I reflected on my life and how easily I get caught in stress and negativity that the world throws at me and how I try to work against it and how stupid I am that I don't use the nature's healing powers more often! I was reminded of how precious I am and that I am great just the way I am. I don't need to be anyone else! I just need to be the best ME I can be!
