When I thought of how I processed my feelings, being in Nature was also a very key component to me finding my balance.
I used to walk most days, for my emotions seemed to overwhelm me. But, once I stepped outside, the Sun greeted me and filled me with emotion that was completely the opposite of being abused. It was kindness.
This is my view from my front door.
I now walk each day around our property, with Finn.
Some mornings it takes your breath away...fresh, clear, and full of peace. We head to the river right after the barn... Below is the view along side of the barn.
We had rain yesterday and everything is so fresh and green. No bugs this morning, or none that bugged me.
This is our path along the river. Each summer we mow it wider and wider. Each summer we are losing lawn mowing kids...this summer we are down to one. So, soon this may all return to hay.
This is a dead end road....heading back towards our place. We mow along the road even. The pine trees on the left is where Finn and I would walk in the winter to get out of the wind...
Another view....sunshine, green grass, trees.
The field across the road from our home. There is a mom fox and three babies that play in this field in the evenings. I have seen her at daybreak, but she isn't around when we take our walks.
And our house...as we make our way back home.
In two weeks, Finn will be moving with my daughter. I would like to think, that I would still take morning strolls along the river...we will see. Our property has been a real oasis...and a perfect place to raise our children, to heal my soul, and an ideal place to walk the dog...a great start to the day.
Secluded and off the beaten path...I am surrounded by nature.
