I especially love to hear water trickling in a brook or something like that. Very comforting. It really helps me to be mindful and in the moment. There are some spots near my home that I could just take a book and sit there for hours.71º & Sunnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09981113989131619635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-2071782610381188892012-05-15T12:56:59.081-04:002012-05-15T12:56:59.081-04:00Elizabeth, Thank you!

There are lots of criss-crossing trails for variety, and some stunning views of water and mountains. We used to get on planes to travel to places like this so we could get out in nature. It's great to now have them in our back yard!Nadine Feldmanhttp://nadinefeldman.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-75436607211245576792012-05-15T10:42:34.596-04:002012-05-15T10:42:34.596-04:00Beautiful pictures.......I am always soothed by ri...Beautiful pictures.......I am always soothed by rivers and lakes.........and I love mountains...Janet (ocdtalk)http://www.ocdtalk.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6831964660986535542.post-25315919171922068832012-05-15T10:32:44.468-04:002012-05-15T10:32:44.468-04:00I like your pictures!

I go trout fishing with my husband and walk up the streams in our wading boots and always feel at peace. I went snorkeling with my son for the first time in my life and witnessed a whole other world I'd never seen before - I didn't want to leave. I love hiking. When I am out in nature, my OCD disappears. Poof!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16288842067954888301noreply@blogger.com
