Life can be really busy. Sometimes we find ourselves buried in work that we don't want to do, leaving no time for what we do want to do. Making time to get outside and enjoy nature is difficult, but by following these three tips, it might get a little easier. 1. PlanTake a look at your calendar. Are you busy next Saturday? Schedule a time for you to explore the beauty outdoors. In a busy life, planning can help you make time for what you love. 2. Find Local PlacesSearch the internet for nature trails near you. There might even be reviews describing what you'll see. Knowing the beautiful locations right outside your door is a wonderful way to increase your chances of spontaneously taking a walk through the woods. 3. Bring SomeoneThis might sound odd, but experiencing nature with family or a friend can make everything more exciting. Be careful who you choose, though, because a loud person won't increase your chances of seeing any wildlife. :)
Oh, and one more thing. Don't forget to bring a camera, even if it's just on your phone. Nature photography is a great way to start, and is rewarding. Good luck making time to see nature! Tell me what you think in the comments. Do you have any tips to add? Have you found any beautiful locations near you?

The snow is beginning to melt, and Spring is on it's way. In these last weeks before it gets here, start a diary of the signs of Spring that you come across. Maybe the birds are getting louder, or you see some flowers starting to spring up from the ground. Write it down at the end of every day, and soon enough Spring will be here. Here is a beautiful poem by Robert Frost about Spring. Enjoy! A Prayer in Spring
Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day; And give us not to think so far away As the uncertain harvest; keep us here All simply in the springing of the year. Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white, Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night; And make us happy in the happy bees, The swarm dilating round the perfect trees. And make us happy in the darting bird That suddenly above the bees is heard, The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill, And off a blossom in mid air stands still. For this is love and nothing else is love, The which it is reserved for God above To sanctify to what far ends He will, But which it only needs that we fulfil. This week, more ice has covered all of the leaves and trees... ...causing a unique beauty to show itself in every leaf on every tree. Roses can be beautiful after death. Even when engulfed by the obvious signs of decay, the color is still there. Although faded and wrinkly, it's still beautiful. Sometimes relationships can be like this too. Maybe it's a friend you haven't talked to in years, or a relationship you have given up on. Although relationships die, there can be good memories of them that will never be gone. Memories of laughter and smiles that could never die. Don't let the death of the friendship rot away the good memories too. Relationships can be beautiful after death. Here's something else I wrote about roses.
