Your "Nature + Nurture" Book sounds wonderful. I have seen your Photos. You do know how to capture nature. Going out for a morning or afternoon walk gives me a chance to see the ducks from our pond behind our condos, as well as viewing the flowers, plants, and trees. The exercise makes me feel good. Yes, I know that for me social media can get compulsive. I do struggle with getting away from it at times. What helps me is to forgive myself. Also if there is a painful reality I am dealing with, I try to get some support though friend, minister, and or a therapist to listen to me. The last two months I had physical therapy for my partial tear in my right bicep. I am 90% better with pain in my right shoulder and now am using two pound weights to build strength in my shoulder. It's a discipline to do physical therapy, and the rewards are great. So even if the pain of a disability can be tough, it is rewarding to find ways to cope.

Thanks for your praise of my nature photos, Laura. And I’m glad your physical therapy is yielding great rewards!
I agree that self-forgiveness and support from friends and therapists can be very helpful in facing painful realities and I have benefitted from both!
