When Cabin Fever Sets In

Blustery weather and over a foot a snow.
We’d been inside for the better part of two days and it was time for a change. Time to get outside and do some forest bathing in the newly transformed winter landscape.

Have you heard of forest bathing? It’s the idea that spending time out in nature is good for us. Good for you, good for me, good for all of us.

It’s not about camping or bugs or getting dirty. It’s learning to appreciate the healing nature of the outdoors. It’s a Japanese pastime rooted in the concept of using nature as therapy.

It’s about slowing down and noticing what you see, hear, and smell when you’re outside.

Yesterday we took a walk in the woods. There’s over a foot of snow on the ground and I was taken by the way the snow drifted up against the trees and settled in the crook of the branches. How blue the sky was.

When we got back, we were hungry and ate lunch...inside. Clearly there’s no seating at the picnic table.

Thanks Kim! Snowstorms can be disruptive, but after the storm we're living a landscape transformed.

It's always surprising after a snowstorm how different the landscape is.
