Advice From A Tree.....

Stand Tall and Proud!
Sink your Roots Deeply into the Earth
Reflect the Light of Your Own True Nature!
Think Long Term
Go Out on a Limb
Remember Your Place Among All Living Beings
Embrace with Joy the Changing Seasons
For Each Yields it's own Abundance
The Energy and Birth of Spring!
The Growth and Contentment of Summer
The Wisdom to Let Go like Leaves in the Fall
The Rest and Quiet Renewal of Winter
Feel the Wind and the Sun and Delight in Their Presence
Look up at the Moon that Shines Down Upon You
And the Mystery of the Stars at Night
Seek Nourishment from Good Things in Life
Simple Pleasures.... Earth.....Fresh Air......Light
Be Content with Your Natural Beauty
Drink Plenty of Water
Let Your Limbs Sway and Dance in the Breezes!
Be Flexible!
Remember Your Roots
Enjoy the View!

I found this book at a thrift store this afternoon and it's a very simple book, but the message is great and I just wanted to share it with you all.

I was needing a bit of a lift this week. Feeling cranky and green (and not in a healthy-for-the-earth sort of way!)
Seek Nourishment from Good Things in Life--wonderful. Thank you for that reminder. You are indeed one of the good things in life.
Hugs,

Reminds me of something similar detailing the life of a dog.... I'll have to post. Both contain simple but essential principles to live by and if we only did, oh how happy we could be.
