  1. Today was a good day. I call Saturday “self care Saturday” because it is my therapy day and a time for contemplation, and, when the weather allows, being in nature. Lately I have been noticing how enjoyable food can be. I had scones today that were absolutely out of this world. Unfortunately, something did not agree with me and I am feeling rather unwell now.

  2. "Did you know nature reduces stress by 30%?

    Spending time in nature has been shown to lower cortisol levels and improve mood. Even a short walk outside can have a significant impact.

  3. **Did you know forest bathing in Japan reduces stress levels by 12.4%?

    Forest bathing, or Shinrin-yoku, is a traditional Japanese practice that involves spending time in the woods to promote physical and mental well-being. Studies have shown that the natural environment has a profound impact on our mental and emotional health.

  4. I had a lovely conversation in the forest with a couple I had never met before. They asked about my bandaged finger and we talked about the beauty of nature, mobility issues (the woman had a cane), the horrible realities in the world, and the sadness of dementia.

    We were at the duck pond that I love visiting and it ended up feeling like a group therapy session so I thanked them both. Hope I bump into them again.

  9. Strangers (continued)

    I then told her about Cates Park
    And Lighthouse Park
    At opposite ends
    Of the North Shore.
    Strangers bonding
    Over a shared love
    Of nature and trees.
    Glimmers of light
    Adding to our day.

  10. Strangers

    Yesterday I had a lovely
    Interaction with
    A lady on the bus.
    She is visiting from Germany
    And was returning from
    A day spent in a forest.
    We bonded over our
    Love of trees.
    She asked for
    A recommendation
    For a place to visit.
    I first mentioned Lynn Canyon
    And she said that’s
    Where she spent the day
    And it was wonderful.

  11. "Spending just 30 minutes in nature reduces stress levels by 30%.

    Being surrounded by greenery and a quiet environment can calm the mind and lower cortisol levels. This is due to the sensory experiences of nature, such as sight, sound, and smell, which help slow down thoughts and promote relaxation.

    "Nature is not a place to visit. It is home." - Gary Snyder.

  12. Today I took myself to a forest for some much-needed nature time. There’s a Save-On grocery store nearby so I stopped in.

    They have a *huge* health section. The nutritionist came to see if I was finding everything + I mentioned I was happy to see the selection of brands.

    I noted one for hot flashes + he was surprised I needed that. He said he thought I was 35 but I told him I’ll be 55 this year.

    I love seeing surprised reactions to my age.
