When The Going Gets Tough,<br> I Immerse Myself In Nature!",<br>"body":"<center>![IMG_3028.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/WsQdDDRe-IMG_3028.JPG)<\/center>\n\n<b>These are trying times,<br>even though I am an optimist,<br> I have been finding it hard to deal with the severity of what is taking place. It is not the virus that worries me,<br> but the endless restrictions that are being placed upon us. Almost everyday there is something new.<\/b>\n\nThe latest here,<br> is that the animal food stores are no longer allowed to sell seeds or plants,<br> as they are not seen as a necessity. I can not even begin to go into how crazy this is,<br> we all need to be able to grow food. I'm okay as I have seeds,<br> I have always saved them,<br> but they are certain things that I wanted to get more of and well now I cannot. For how long? that's anyone's guess.\n\n>I have been feeling a little overwhelmed already,<br> but this just added another layer or uneasiness onto me. So I had to take some time and get up high,<br> as that always helps me to clear my head and just let myself process things.I am lucky,<br> that I only have to walk up behind the land I live on,<br> in order to get to a plateau where the view is pretty breathtaking and where it is unlikely tat you will meet some else. \n\n<b>Nothing like wide open space,<br> to give you a sense of freedom. So it was to that spot that I went with my mama dog Freya. <\/b>\n<center>![IMG_2992.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/iaMt7BmR-IMG_2992.JPG)<\/center>\n>The Track leads us up out of the valley and I immediately begin to feel more at ease.\n\n<center>![IMG_2996.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/xnCiqjaa-IMG_2996.JPG)<\/center>\n>The mountainside is covered in wild herbs and the air is filled with the scent of wild thyme.\n\n<center>![IMG_3004.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/VgaE7Xaz-IMG_3004.JPG)<\/center>\nStill we climb upwards,<br> higher and higher,<br> leaving my little sanctuary behind,<br> to reach the wide open wilderness.\n\n<center>![IMG_3010.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/eRG4kLSS-IMG_3010.JPG)<\/center>\n> the track on top is orange,<br> which always reminds me of Australia and Africa,<br> where the soil is rich with minerals. That is the nearest town to me,<br> that you can see in the distance,<br> but I will walk the other way.\n\n<center>![IMG_3012.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/S5zedARS-IMG_3012.JPG)<\/center>\n> This is the view I want,<br> the view of the lake and the mountains that surround her and me.\n\n<center>![IMG_3017.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/VYXGBbMH-IMG_3017.JPG)<\/center>\n> it is so wild up here and that us exactly how I feel,<br> I think this picture captures it well!\n\n<center>![IMG_3020.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/PmetkLj3-IMG_3020.JPG)<\/center>\nThis is where I sit for a while,<br> I let Freya off the lead and I just sit and let the wind blow away my worries and let calm wash over me.\n\n<center>![IMG_3036.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/HpU0cV9L-IMG_3036.JPG)<\/center>\n> This is the view in the other direction,<br> the river that feeds into the lake. With lots of small abodes dotted near it. \n\n<center>![IMG_3038.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/h8JXi8iY-IMG_3038.JPG)<\/center>\n>I love this view of the mountains,<br> they really look like they go on for ever. Being up here really helps me get out of my head and realize all that I have to be grateful for. I spend quite a while taking \n\n<center>![IMG_3051.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/CcJo3PuA-IMG_3051.JPG)<\/center>\n>The track back to my home,<br> with all the recent rain,<br> everything looks so lush and green. My head and my heart feel a lot lighter walking back down.\n\n<center>![IMG_3043.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/T3lg93Pb-IMG_3043.JPG)<\/center>\n> Some wild sage greeted me on the walk up and now again on the walk down. There is such an abundance of wild herbs along here.\n\n<center>![IMG_3049.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/NLCQISzM-IMG_3049.JPG)<\/center>\n>I love the smell of wild lavender and will be returning in a day or two to collect some to make smudge sticks. \n\n<center>![IMG_2993.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/aA0V7fbn-IMG_2993.JPG)<\/center>\n> the lovely Rosemary,<br> my sense of smell has really been on overdrive on this walk,<br> especially after the recent rain. None of these hers need a lot of water,<br> but still the have had to go without for quite a while and they look a bit more vibrant after receiving some.\n \n<center>![IMG_3052.JPG (https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/rjy4DG3t-IMG_3052.JPG)<\/center>\n> And there we have it,<br> one very chilled out dog and human make their way back home. Feeling revitalized and determined to just save ever seed I have,<br> to not let any go to waste. \n\n<h3>There is always a solution,<br> it is just that sometimes we need to return to the wild in order to realize it. <\/h3>\n\n![ (https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmTNAcxn2LAJZcaiiG2QcccfphzNQ1x8rHq1z9tJ5rrHak\/image.png)\n\n<h4>I have created a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/user?u=15164088\">Patreon account<\/a> so if anyone wishes to support me,<br> please do,<br> I will be sharing poetry and words of empowerment.<\/h4>\n\n ![ (https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmTNAcxn2LAJZcaiiG2QcccfphzNQ1x8rHq1z9tJ5rrHak\/image.png)\n<center>![DESERT ADVENTURE.png (https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmWkbJmSEWx3befz8JEEg9JXgfVmhsM6KqbzNZejqQQjKg\/DESERT%20ADVENTURE.png)<\/center>",<br>"json_metadata":" \"app\":\"steempeak\/2020.03.6\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\",<br>\"tags\":[\"healing\",<br>\"nature\",<br>\"coronavirus\",<br>\"photography\",<br>\"palnet\" ,<br>\"links\":[\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/user?u=15164088\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/WsQdDDRe-IMG_3028.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/iaMt7BmR-IMG_2992.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/xnCiqjaa-IMG_2996.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/VgaE7Xaz-IMG_3004.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/eRG4kLSS-IMG_3010.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/S5zedARS-IMG_3012.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/VYXGBbMH-IMG_3017.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/PmetkLj3-IMG_3020.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/HpU0cV9L-IMG_3036.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/h8JXi8iY-IMG_3038.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/CcJo3PuA-IMG_3051.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/T3lg93Pb-IMG_3043.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/NLCQISzM-IMG_3049.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/aA0V7fbn-IMG_2993.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/files.peakd.com\/file\/peakd-hive\/trucklife-family\/rjy4DG3t-IMG_3052.JPG\",<br>\"https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmTNAcxn2LAJZcaiiG2QcccfphzNQ1x8rHq1z9tJ5rrHak\/image.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/cdn.steemitimages.com\/DQmWkbJmSEWx3befz8JEEg9JXgfVmhsM6KqbzNZejqQQjKg\/DESERT%20ADVENTURE.png\" " |
