Great idea Christine!! Looking at paradise-like pictures and taking a mental vacation by walking thru them and imagining the sight and smell, touch and sound of the place does wonders for our souls. I've visited everyone of these places that way. Here's a few for you Char:
"My work is loving the world. Here the sunflowers, there the hummingbird — equal seekers of sweetness. Here the clam deep in the speckled sand. Are my boots old? Is my coat torn? Am I no longer young, and still not half-perfect? Let me keep my mind on what matters, which is my work which is mostly standing still and learning to be astonished." — Mary Oliver, from Messenger
