Not long ago, I was feeling stressed out and in need of some fast relief.  So, I went to one of my favorite places located about two hours from my home.  It’s located on the edge of a cliff at about 7,000 feet above sea level.  It’s almost always breezy up there and it overlooks green ponderosa pines for as far as you can see.  I sat there in a lawn chair for the better part of the afternoon letting the cool breeze run across my face and through my hair.  During this time I let my mind and body flow with the breeze.  When I got into my car to drive home, I felt entirely stress free.  It was a fantastic and very rewarding way to spend an afternoon.  For the price of a few gallons of gas and an afternoon, I returned relaxed, refreshed and ready to take on the tasks that had been causing me stress.  Once again, nature is a great stress reliever.
