“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

(This post is part of an ongoing #positivemomentarydistraction series intended to lend you a much deserved, #serenegreenscene  #naturedose. The photos and quotes are part of a #thriveoutsidehealinside collection, I have curated over the decades – resources that I turn to for inspiration, empowerment and reassurance – not unlike my healing relationship with my garden and nature beyond.  Research studies show that views of nature-based positive distractions reduce pain, anxiety, stress, fatigue, distress and other physiological and psychological outcomes as cited by Ulrich et al, 2004. Please, enjoy this #healinggardenhappyplace moment with me.)
