Giving Back to Mother Earth

This weekend in Canada it was Thanksgiving. Everyone visits family and friends and is thankful for everything in their lives. Ours was no exception.

We went to visit the in-laws and had a great time. The weather was 25 c, summer weather! We got to wear shorts and sit outside and just enjoy the beautiful sunshine.

On the Monday, after our two turkey dinners, we decided to give back a little bit to Mother Earth. We went around to our favourite parks and picked up garbage and recyclables. It felt good getting our hands dirty for the environment. And of course we did it expecting nothing in return.

I’ve read about how doing good things, makes you feel good. And it’s true. We picked up garbage and filled three or four garbage bags and we felt really good about it. I know in my past I have probably littered a few times, so by picking some cans and bottles up, I know I’ve made my peace.

So my point is this, when life seems too hectic, get out into nature. Being surrounded by the beautiful fall trees, and the sun is wonderful. Very refreshing. I felt energetic and very at peace. In fact we’ve decided to make it a habit to go clean up the parks. After all if we don’t clean up the garbage, who will? Every bit helps, and I know that I am 100% responsible for all the garbage out there, so I’d better get busy cleaning – the physical way.

Until next time

I love you
