For once, mud has made my heart happy.
The muddy boots sitting by my front door are a welcome reminder of tromping through the hills with my family. We relished the November sun as it made slush of the snow-covered trails in the valley that echoed with the delighted exclaims of my inquisitive children. I taught my little ones to recognize the call of the Chickadee, and smiled to myself as they called back "Chick-a-dee-dee-dee!" to the tiny bird perched high in the naked branches.
I highly recommend a regular diet which partakes of the great outdoors!
Are you stressed? Get outside, under the vast expanse of blue sky on a clear day and soak it in.
Are your kids driving you crazy with excessive noise and disaster-prone behavior? Get them outside! Trust me, the dirt is worth it when you account for the fact that their voices are lost in the wide open spaces and the entertainment is found - not in the eerie glow of a screen, but in the trees, hills, rocks and sky.
Are you sad or lonely? All of creation cries of a God who meticulously designed a world intended to glorify Him, and give us delight. Every snowflake, every cloud, every snow-capped mountain on the horizon... all of nature's bounty is a reminder of a good God, who makes beautiful things and cares about even the smallest details. For that I am thankful, and in my grateful enjoyment, I am truly refreshed.

God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.
-Psalm 19:1-4 (MSG)
