April 5-April Blogging Challange
What makes you come alive?
This will be a short post tonight because I'm a procrastinator and I'm tired and I determined to succeed at this challange and I don't feel very alive right now. The thing that makes me feel most alive is just having real human experiences. Technology is great but it also does the opposite of make me come alive. It makes me feel like I'm living in a virtual world.
I feel most alive when I am in nature, and not just stepping outside into a concrete jungle, but actually being submerged in nature. A few weeks ago, my family and I took a trip to Houston to visit family. While there, we got to visit The Brazos Bend State Park. We drove for miles and miles into the park before we actually parked. For miles around we were surrounded by nothing but Nature; trees and water and animals. There's no other word to describe how I felt about being there other than alive. How could you not feel alive? You realize the true beauty of the world. You can just breath so much better and just appreciate life so much. I think being out in nature could be a cure for depression. It also made it that much more special that I was there with my kids. Playing with them and watching them really enjoy themselves also makes me feel so thankful to be alive.
