"If there is to be any peace,
it will come through being, not having."
Henry Miller
We just returned to our beach place from the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. We spent a couple of days camping, fishing and exploring the area. One of tourist attractions on the Rogue is a hike to see the Largest Registered Myrtlewood Tree. We hiked about a mile uphill through a Myrtlewood forest to see this beautiful old growth tree.
You can definitely feel the Peace of nature in a forest.

That is so neat that you guys do things like that together. Camping sounds great!
Hi, Pati! I found your blog through your daughter Ali's, and I can see where she gets her awesome attitude toward life. This world needs more people like you guys! As a chronic complainer and someone who has lived through one crisis after another, I so appreciate your idea of blogging daily peace. I'm trying so hard to start seeing the glass as half full, rather than half empty, and the quotes you post are little helps (I especially loved the one by Napoleon Hill). I'm finally realizing that it's actually easier to think and speak negatively than it is to think at speak positively (my blog, which tends to hold a lot of venting, is the perfect example). It takes effort--an enormous amount for some of us -- to think, speak,and act positively. I'm going to be thirty five this year. It's time to change. It is time. So, a great big THANK YOU, Ali's Mom! It may be just a little blog, but it's doing a world of good. Thank you.
Oops, almost forgot! That tree is awesome! I'm the kind of person who will buy books filled with nothing but photos of trees, and so that's why your photo caught my eye. Beautiful!
WOW! I didn't realize they could grow so large! Awesome photo, really captures the size well.
