Thank you so much for this thoughtful, moving post. I loved it! I read it twice, remembered that my last short forest walk was over a month ago, and vowed to do that more often.
I am way too much of an indoor girl; too much time reading on my phone (although recently lots of beneficial MMM posts!) & too much time watching movies on my couch. I’m aiming to change that moving forward and spend more time outside.
I loved this phrase: “When you forget about Nature, you slip into a pattern of spending your whole life trying to figure out what’s missing.” I can definitely relate to the feeling that something is missing in my life, many things even. Thanks to your wonderful post, I am now considering that my disconnection from Nature may be part of this.
I also loved that you said that learning to appreciate Nature is one of the most Mustachian skills one can develop. That’s motivating too! Spending more time outdoors definitely fits right into my new frugal, financially aware lifestyle. I will definitely post an inspiring Nature pic on my fridge, and design more free outdoor activities into my life.
Thanks again, this is a post I will revisit! :)
