"And what is so rare as a day in June? Then, if ever, come perfect days."
-James Russell Lowell
What a wonderful time of year! June is my favorite month, and I try to embrace its beauty for as long as it lasts.
Being in nature is good for us, and we need its influence throughout the year. Being indoors too much can be detrimental to our mental and physical well-being.
You don't have to go far to enjoy nature. You could just open the door and walk outside.
Notice how this tree is not perfectly symmetrical, and yet it has a graceful beauty. In fact, nothing in nature is perfect, including people, yet in our own unique way, we are beautiful, too, part of God's world.
One could go to a park and sit on a bench and contemplate nature, walk, jog, or ride a bike.

Some parks have neat playground equipment.
Some parks are educational, like this "Veteran's Memorial Park" in Abingdon, Virginia.
Dining outside might make your food even tastier!

Working on indoor projects outside can make the project more fun.
Even having a calendar with pretty nature scenes like this "Wild & Wonderful Virginia" calendar can make life more enjoyable. Also, nature DVD's and videos on the Internet are good.
However, nothing is as good as being in the great outdoors because it helps our "chi" or life force.
"Today, just take time to smell the roses, enjoy those little things about your life, your family, spouse, friends, job. Forget about the thorns, the pains, and problems they cause you and enjoy life."
