Newsletter: September 2019

A Thought Starter for this Month:

September: “The most wonderful time of the year”, kids go back to school, the days get cooler, football season begins and the leaf peepers make their annual trek to New England to view nature’s glorious colors on display. I watched a news segment on T.V. last week that reported some doctors are now prescribing a regiment of time spent in nature to combat anxiety and depression. Instead of relying solely on medication, add a hike to your daily routine, take a walk in the park or spend time outdoors with your family or favorite four-legged friend.

You might find you don’t need that trip to the drugstore after all. Whether you suffer from anxiety and depression or not, you have nothing to lose by spending some quality time enjoying nature – it’s the doctors orders!
