December Challenge -I went to the woods

This has been an oh so busy month and in the last day and a half, I have managed to get in some readings by Muir and Thoreau on the wonders of nature and I am looking forward to going into nature for my birthday. I am looking forward to continuing my monthly challenges for my own personal enrichment and now that the holidays are over, I received my last gift today, I can dedicate more of my time to my challenges. I am looking forward to continued growth in 2012. Here's to sucking out all of the marrow of life.

December Challenge -I went to the woods

I have decided that for the month of December even though I probably will not physically go into the cold damp woods, I will read daily thoughts and meditations on nature and I am have starting off with Thoreau and Muir. When I find quotes that I love I will post them and my thoughts on the subject. I know this is going to be a hectic month and reading my daily meditations will help to ground the stress right out of me.

I went to the woods because I wanted to live deliberately

I wanted to live deep and suck out all of the marrow of life!

To put to rout all that was not life...

And not, when I came to die, discover

that I had not lived...

Henry David Thoreau
