Natural BEAUTY Appreciate & ENJOY

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ex0o8nfuwUM

All too often we are not aware of the natural resources available to us...the hidden treasures in our community, in our family, even of ourselves - the artistic talents we possess or learn. However, it's the preserved park land, the small farms, the rural countryside, the untouched landscapes and the cultivated gardens that are the natural and valuable 'gems' that are available each of us, but aren't fully utilized with the full intention to relieve stress, rejuvenate & thrive.

Lawns, Veg Gardens and the Dandelion

An example...gardening was not just just a hobby at one time many years ago, it was the means to feed and sustain the family. The Dandelions that grew in the yard were a source of nutrition, until it came out of fashion and a 'Pristine Lawn' became a status symbol. Little did we know that giving up our ability to have a front and backyard DIY garden, we lost our exercise routines - our healthy diets - our depression management and our work satisfaction in favor of urbanization.

And yet today in the 21st Century a dramatic reverse has taken place, much to the chagrin of those in favor of the city-lifestyle or the 'burbs'...the country life is now more appealing.

Meeting Our Needs

Human standards sadly come and go...but our true needs always go back to what's most beneficial, a clean environment - clean food - an unhurried & harmonious balance with the natural function of life and a closely knit family. Honestly thinking about it, it's there for a beautiful reason, including the care of & interaction with animals and the earth...in 'Perfect Natural Balances'. The satisfaction that a simple life of mastering a DIY family garden will definitely bring wheelbarrows full of a productive happier life...

Rural country life has the bonus of being joyously frugal, a side effect that city life doesn't produce or ever teach. Waste is never enjoyable nor is it cost effective...it's truly an undesirable trait. Making good use of what you have - maximizing your budget, using practical skills to improve your country life, achieved contentment is a valuable prize won.

Focus sometimes gets lost...so it's important to keep in mind what is most beneficial - there's an art to life which needs to be appreciated & cultivated especially now, because natural beauty will always be 'our treasured gem' that should never be traded away.
