You MUST watch this video I have for you! It is brilliant!
If you read my blog at all you will know how much my husband and I try to get out into nature as much as possible. We walk on as many trails and over our mountains as often as work allows. We honestly TRY to combat the work induced catatonia! It is a very funny video because it is so true (and also as Americans, we are VERY tired of all the drug adverts on TV!!)
Increase your dose of nature wherever you are in the world!
(In my header photo that was taken this time last year near the top of Stone Mountain, those are the lovely Yellow Daisies in full bloom...but do you notice at the edge of the photo on the right side...see a pair of shoes? Guess who?)
Nature and laughter are still the best medicine.
ReplyDeleteAnd I try for both every day!
DeleteThis really was fun to watch - and yours being the first thing I read/watched this morning, it put me not really in the right mood for another long day at the office :-)
ReplyDeleteBut needs must, and I have already taken a 1-hour-walk after work on Monday, and will probably go out for a run across the fields tonight with my friend. So, take this, work-induced catatonia :-D
Isn't it funny? Richard and I thought so too!
DeleteYes! Take THAT, work-induced catatonia! :-)
As someone who lives in as remote a part of the country as it's just about possible to live and still have all the facilities one wants I agree but I also meet people who find living in such places who find it even more stressful than city life. Nature is great. Living permanently in nature isn't for everyone though.
ReplyDeleteOne of my former classmates lives on an island in the Pacific Ocean and I remember her telling me that she had to fly for hours to get to Hawaii for some kind of medical emergency. I would not like that! However, just trying to get out into nature, and away from your workplace and home has got to be a good thing. :-)
DeleteI hate all those medical adverts on TV here, and I know they are on even more in the US, so I understand your feelings! A dose of nature is always a good thing and a great cure for many ills isn't it! If only doctors would prescribe it occasionally! xx
ReplyDeleteAh, but then , there would be no money to go to the drug companies!
DeleteLoved the video! I enjoy getting outside to enjoy nature and Stone Mountain is a great place to go to do just that, although I am not able to climb it anymore. The last time we were there we rode the lift.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked the video! Richard and I haven't been on the sky lift in a long time but we just were on it this past Sunday, look out for my post about it!!
DeleteThat was fun! Yes, i'll have to increase my doses of nature!
ReplyDeletePlease do!
DeleteA dose of nature cures many ills for sure. Increasing the dose is very good advice!
ReplyDeleteDoctor's orders!
DeleteThat video is absolutely hilarious! Seriously, though, it's a good representation of the Japanese concept of "forest bathing" (isn't that a wonderful term?) -- see Wikipedia here:
ReplyDeletehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forest_bathing
Interesting! I love the name! We also have the same thing in Georgia, we just call it "Going Outside"! (We have so many trees!) And thinking of it, fishing with my Daddy & Granddaddy when I was little, was like "forest bathing", it truly was like that for me!
DeleteThis is a fun way to end my day...I'm about to head off to bed....thanks for the laugh. :)
ReplyDeleteSee, Lee, you are like me, I knew you would like it! :-)
DeleteJust this morning I was talking with my brother about being in nature.
ReplyDeleteSee, I read your mind!
DeleteIt took me forever to find those shoes in your Header! The lovely yellow flowers were
ReplyDeletegood to to see on a grey and rainy morning. The video set me off laughing too. A real tonic! Glad you are still walking our walk up to the top of Stone Mountain.
Ha, ha! I didn't know my shoes were in the photo until later, so I thought it would amuse you to see them in there too!
DeleteGlad you like the video too! And YES, wait until you see my next post about Stone Mountain in the RAIN, yes, I said RAIN! We have seen it in all kinds of weather!
Good video. Getting out and about is the best medicine of all.
ReplyDeleteYou should know! Wish I could walk with y'all in your neck of the woods, it's lovely!
Deletegreat video. went to You tube and shared it with a bunch of people
ReplyDeleteOh good! I am glad you liked it and shared it with others! That is great!
DeleteThe message is wonderful. I remind myself constantly to leave my desk and get outdoors whenever I can. Thanks for stopping by my blog!
ReplyDeletep.s. so touching you married your pen pal...must be a great story there :)
You have a lovely blog!
DeleteAnd you have reminded me of a post I did about another couple who married who were pen friends...the book is "Dear Paul, Dear Stephanie" and one of my blogging friends told me about it! I always wanted to write our story as "Dear Richard, Dear Kay"! Look out for it! :-)
That is BRILLIANT, Kay!!! I love "Golf is not Nature". Ha ha! Thanks so much for sharing.....gave me a good laugh!
ReplyDeleteI know, I hoped everyone would read those little asides at the bottom.
DeleteGolf is not nature...gotta love it!
Have a wonderful Labor Day weekend, my friend! xx
