Mind of Mash: Be Nurtured by Nature

Recently, I was in Montana for my younger sister’s wedding. I have traveled to many places in my lifetime, but this new location would prove to be one of the most cathartic. As my family and I flew over the mountains, I couldn’t help but stare in awe of the beauty that I was about to enter. I couldn’t wait-another state finally off the bucket list!

My family picked up our rental car after we landed, and we were finally off to Big Sky, the town where we were staying. As we drove through the state, it was initially nothing but flat plains and big ranches, with a few homes and businesses spread throughout. A sense of simplicity and solitude was in the air. It was a nice break from my hectic reality back home.

As we got closer, the plains turned into a sea of mountains and pine trees, the likes of which my family has never seen. The terrain was intimidating yet inspiring. Good thing I wasn’t driving, because there would have been a good chance that I’d drive right off the road from all the beautiful distractions that surrounded me!

A Friendly Reminder

I’m sharing this experience with you because it truly was therapeutic in nature (no pun intended). I think we all need to take the time to get outside now and then and soak in what’s around us. With the year winding down, there will not be as many…
