There is something about the outdoors that soothes the soul.
The other day we stopped and enjoyed nature for a little bit while the sun was going down and it was heavenly. It was a spur of the moment stop but later I realized it was much needed! We had long day of shopping and passed by the Great Salt Lake on our way home. We decided to go walk along the beach and climbed around on the rocks for awhile. Then we played in the water - it was so fun!
Hearing the waves and feeling the water on my toes was very relaxing. I need to remember to do that more often. It makes me stop and pause in life for a moment and allows me to just enjoy.
If it would have been a planned outing, then it would have been fun to bring play clothes for the water or a picnic. But spur of the moment outings can be just as much fun and memorable for the whole family! There is something special about these unplanned trips that adds a sense of adventure and thrill to life.
