The Great Outdoors

Hello all,
I am getting ready to go on vacation to Florida this week and I'm very excited. I love spending time at the beach because it has an amazing calming quality to it. There's so much to appreciate about being there: the warm sand, the cool blue waves crashing onto shore, and the sun beating down and children playing. But even if you're not by a beach, the outdoors is still full of many benefits. Being outside and breathing fresh air does your body so much good. It's not always healthy to keep breathing in the same re-circulated air that is inside. Sure, the weather may be too hot, but grab a glass of ice water and a bottle of sunscreen. Sure there are bugs outside, but bug spray was invented for that very reason. Children these days are spending WAY too much time indoors playing video games and watching T.V. And we all wonder whey the pediatric obesity rate is so high. Make your kids spend time in nature. They have room to run around and get all that energy out and they're getting good exercise in. Even taking walks around the neighborhood is beneficial for all ages. Summer is wonderful because the slower pace of life, allows for more time with family and more time in nature. Have fun this week and go explore what's in your backyards. It will amaze you.
Love and peace always,
Chloe
