Why Outdoors

Aren't we lucky for another new
 and fresh series of chapters just waiting to be lived?
Let's move away from the same old story line though.
I'm so eager for new adventures, I trust you are too.

"If you don't take risks, you'll have a wasted soul."
Drew Barrymore

Take over your winter blues with nature's gifts!

Last Saturday I visited our lovely
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum 

and I'm going to share a few tips for this new year.

Try going where you feel most alive.

Explore the unseen.

Seek adventures that open your mind.

Don't be stuck with the same ho-hum attitudes.

Gather earthy goodies

 and create anything.

You can try the same places or things

 just with new eyes/ideas/shapes/designs.

Work hard but travel so much harder.

Go to that destination you've been putting off.

Life is short just ask any snowman.

"Until you step into the unknown, 

you don't know what you're made of."

Roy T. Bennett

Last but not least for my post today

is spending more thought towards the ever mysterious

 shadows in our daily lives.

Victor Hugo

Had I cut my dog Misty out of this photo you'd never been able to guess where this shadow came from.

Here's to sharing mystery shadows to open our minds!

Thanks for stopping by I always appreciate your visits!

Take good care of you.
