I think I need to smell some pine trees!

I really think that in the midst of a change of life, it might just be good to go out and do something you like doing, and see if it still works to change your attitude! In my case it would be to go smell some pine trees, take a walk in a forest and just wonder what ever happened to the rest of the world! I think that is the reason for a Sabbath, no working, it seems that the problem has been around for thousands of years, human beings have been so obsessed with existing, making sure they leave some kind of significant mark on the world or just survive,that they have forgot to appreciate the world or it's beauty! We are always so apt to feel guilty for not having done something significant, that we punish ourselves, by doing too much of the mundane. If life is important, than we should stop and appreciate it! It is one of the reasons peak bagging got old, it is great to get to the top of the mountain, but often, the race to see how fast you go up, and come down, setting a record, kind of misses the point of seeing and experiencing the mountain. Exercise in it's self will clear the mind, but what you see, smell, touch, these reconnect you with your soul, refresh your spirit, make your mind think in new ways! So, when you start to get stale, when the only thing in your heart and your mind make you want to scream, stop, remember what makes you happy, and just do it! Whatever day you do a Sabbath, do it, don't feel guilty, don't count the productive things you could have done, just remember, it is not about work, if you exercise when you Sabbath, the exercise should not be (for your good), it is should be because it takes you where you want to be, it should ultimately relax and help re-create you, re-center yourself, to appreciate... God, the world, and the people around you! Here are some pictures to take your mind off of things that you see everyday!
