Thank you! I have heard this quote before and I agree with it wholeheartedly. It's these times where we are really present absorbing our environment and this beautiful world. I think everyone could benefit spending more time in this sort of peaceful, appreciative meditation.
Okay, I saw another one on my inspirational e-mail. I gotta share it....then I'll try to be more picky. This went just had me visualizing and then after I'd think I'd wasted my time, which would be a cognitive disortion. It really wouldn't be. I think other activities we do, besides the one mentioned are often beneficial. Okay, opinion over....here it is....
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~Sir John Lubbock
