Nature Heals
Sometimes life can be challenging, but we've always found solace and comfort in nature. On this day, we lost a family member out of state, and without hesitation bundled up and hit the trails. It was cold, but brisk and refreshing, and like always, discerned a sense of peace and calm. We firmly believe that nature heals, not in the sense that one might think, but certainly therapeutically. Although it was a personal time for us, we agreed to add it by request.
