I go barefoot much more than I am wear shoes and sitting on our porch listening to the birds and insects and the wind rustle the leaves is a soothing lullaby.

But I understand you have to do it and you are so good at it, writing. I don't know if you have to be an aware person for this to happen, but I find that being old has huge benefits: It is easy to live in the moment, to not worry so much, to be aware of birds and other critters, sunrise and sunset, and to find peace. I am so grateful to have reached this age with relatively few health and other issues.

How many hours should I spend? Is this selfish? It can be hard to find a balance, but I agree that stepping away from the computer and seeing the world around us is important.
