Before I dive in my pool of gratitude, it is appropriate to take a moment to assist any individual who may have slept through biology. Magnesium, a divalent cation, is a component of chlorophyll-the green pigment (color) evident all around us in plants and trees. Magnesium is also found inside body cells (~50%- the other half is in bone) and plays a role in neuromuscular transmission and activity. You see, every day that we open our eyes without gratitude for the science behind nature I feel we commit a grave injustice against ourselves.
This injustice is just a manifestation of a lifestyle characterized by MAJORING in MINORS. Working in the garden helps me to stay aware of all that I am grateful for: the air- my lungs that breathe it in; the birds-my ears that can hear them; and nature-my eyes that behold it daily. Running from bees (I am facing my fear of bees), talking to my seedlings, and praying for rain takes the focus off of participating in self-degrading behavior.
That stated, I encourage you to put down the negative and focus on the positive. I am aware that it can be a challenge in the environment in which we live. Last you heard YOU ARE NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Well, I challenge you to turn off that flat screen and go outside. Look up and look around to behold the greatest science on earth! Take in all that nature has to offer. It is absolutely FREE- no payment plan required.
I needed this reminder today thank you.
