Hello. I have once again been reminded of how healing nature can be. I saw a social media post with that theme and it got me thinking. I have been working a lot and getting my strength back from COVID and I thought I would check to see if I could get a hotel room at the coast. I didn’t think I had a chance, but one room was available in Lincoln City. I couldn’t believe it and Jim was thrilled. We went to the coast on the spur of the moment. I came back revived! The sound of the waves lulled me into the best sleep I have had in ages and walking on the beach was energizing. The following weekend we had long-standing plans to go to Timberline Lodge with our friends. I wanted to experience the mountain and ride the lift. The guys didn’t but Sonja and I had an incredible ride up the mountain. I agree with John Burroughs in his famous quote about nature and healing “I go to nature to be soothed, healed and have my senses put in order.” Take Care. Melinda
