I love being outdoors. It is definitely one of my favorite places. I love being away from the noises of the busy city and being in the quiet and calm outdoors. A couple weekends ago a group of us went down to Southern Utah to go hiking and camping at Zions National Park. We set up camp and as we were waiting for the other car of people to get there we spent time just sitting there. I had the opportunity to sit and think about life. As I was sitting in my camping chair I realized that I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I was away from my normal everyday stresses. I did not have to worry about anything. I was free from the world. Something about being in the middle of nowhere is very comforting to me. I feel comfortable and relaxed. I love sitting around a campfire and just staring into the flame while I contemplate life in my mind.
The world has so much to offer us, we just need to take the time to take a step back from our normal everyday busy lives to notice the beauty around us. We need to take time to sit down and think. We need those fun times with our friends to not worry about anything else other than having a good time.
So from the bottom of my heart...Thank you Mother Nature for providing that opportunity for me.

So I was stocking people and somehow I got to your blog. Can I just say that I'm really happy that the first post, first picture I see is a picture of us? It was such a fun trip! I'm so glad I went! The scenery was gorgeous...everywhere!
