Remembering how to breathe

Reflecting pool

“If you ever find yourself empty from something you cannot know or name, find a stretch of ocean, a field, or mountainside, or even clouds, or trees.  Because there are 1,000 simple ways to fill your tired soul so you can remember how to be, how to see, and most importantly, how to breathe.” ~ Victoria Erickson

The final Mindfulness for Moms class met outside last week in a garden near this reflecting pool.  It was so nice to wander on the gravel path, watch the sun sparkle on the water, and take some deep breaths.  I didn’t even realize how much I needed it until I was there.  Ahhh…

Tell me how you are all doing.  Are you remembering to spend some moments in nature?

  1. What a great group for Mom’s and the pool or any kind of water I think is so soothing…
    Love, love the quote.

  2. I think I have post-vacation depression. I seemed to be glued to my recliner. So the answer is no. And I need to change that.

      I don’t know how you can go on a 40+ day vacation with all you did and not be glued to a recliner afterwards. 🙂 Give yourself some rest!
