Mercer Slough

We took a drive out to Mercer Slough Nature Park today.  The weather was warm and sultry and we took a nice walk on the trail.  It was idyllic and a perfect spot for a little outing.  My mother-in-law's visit is coming to a close already, so it's nice to get out a bit and enjoy this amazing weather.

“We are not going to change the whole world, but we can change ourselves and feel free as birds. We can be serene even in the midst of calamities and, by our serenity, make others more tranquil. Serenity is contagious. If we smile at someone, he or she will smile back. And a smile costs nothing. We should plague everyone with joy. If we are to die in a minute, why not die happily, laughing?”
― Swami Satchidananda, The Yoga Sutras
