Outdoor Therapy

With the nicer weather, we've made an effort to be outside more. There's something calming to us about the sunshine, the breeze, and the sounds of nature. It helps to ground and reset us, plus it gives us time to reflect. If you follow us on Instagram or Facebook, you might have seen this picture. ​

One of our quarantine projects was to remove a dead ash tree. As it decayed from the inside, it posed a danger since the limbs had started to fall. It had to go. Here, a month later, is the remaining stump. We marvel at the new life springing from the rot and decay of the old tree. It's a reminder to us that even through the toughest times, such as a heartbreaking loss or the death of a dream, in time there can come hope, newness, even redemption -- perhaps unexpectedly.

Peace to all!
