Um, hell no.
Don't get me wrong, I agree with the message. We should listen more. But I have also seen The Edge like six times and multiple serial killer movies, so no: I am not going into the woods alone. Don't get me started on the ant incident of '08. Right now, I am watching Queen Christina as I write this post. When that is over, I will probably listen to my album for the day. As you can see, I haven't exactly embraced this message yet. Believe or not, though, these blogs aren't my entire life; I fit them in by having movies or albums on in the background while I complete other work. But this particular blog is about growing, so I am going to attempt this feat later tonight. I will sit outside for at least ten minutes (shocking, right?) and just listen.

By the way, the value I tried to embrace today was COURAGE. That didn't work out. Try, try again.
There aren't really any wooded areas around me. But I do love to walk outside when I get the chance. In fact, just today I took a quick walk outside, but came in because it was a bit cold. I really enjoyed seeing the beautiful autumn leaves and the breeze was so refreshing. Unfortunately, I heard cars and such, which took the experience down a notch. I really admire Diana Fletcher's message to not get too caught up in electronic devices as so many people do these days. I constantly see kids glued to their cell phones with their iPods in their ears and think that it is such a waste. Don't let life pass you by. Stop and smell the roses! And if you get the chance, take a walk. Even if it is just for ten minutes, it will clear your head and really rejuvenate you.
