About two months ago, a niece who lived in another city and was feeling depressed due to legal problems asked me and my wife to accompany her. Of course, we can’t refuse her request even though we ourselves have a myriad of problems. When it comes to things about where we will stay while in her city, so as not to make her bother, besides being bored with the noise of the city, we refuse to stay in her house and ask her to find us a simple inn on the edge of town and better if it is in natural environment.
When we arrived in the city, she drove us to an inn located on a plantation. Well, in the midst of such sudden and urgent situations, the choice is quite pleasant. In a place close to nature, it is easier for us to concentrate on thinking, making plans, and managing strategies. Indeed, actually, wherever we stay, we can still concentrate because our thoughts are in our heads while the place we live is outside of us, right?

We opted to give up our so called glamour life in the madding city for a semi rural town where I designed my own dream house. Life is great here.
I sometimes long for noise though (lol)
As I said yesterday, you have a choice and have decided what is best for you.
My advice, if you miss the noise, don’t go to Texas even though it is very crowded, lively, and noisy.

We really have everything in our heads, but it’s better to make plans in such a nice place.
Absolutely, dear Vida. A comfortable place usually can support our head to use properly… lol
Its easier to concentrate in a quiet peaceful place rather than in the noise of a city. Its easier to concentrate in the early hours or later hours of the day for the same reason.
I agree with you, Sophie. Certain places and times have certain effects.
It is a beautiful estate. Hope your niece is feeling better now.
Well, at least the place made us comfortable and refreshed for a week in the city
She is much calmer now, thank you.
I am glad to hear that, Albert.
Thanks a lot for your attention, Mohan.

This is a Great think.
Thank you so much for the compliment, Radica.
No Problem,for every time
As my mind is not as sharp as it used to be (contrary to Ileana), I have to say that being in nature opens my senses and my mind to a 100%. Nature relaxes me to the fullest. Hope your niece found a solution to her problem while she and you enjoyed and relaxed in natural surroundings.
I am sure that nature and its energy do affect us and can make us feel like it is fully charged.
We have passed the initial stage even though we don’t know the next reaction after that stage. Thank you for your best wishes for us, it is very valuable.
I did not say that my mind is sharp, I only said that theoretically the concentration does not depend on the environment.
Oh Ileana I am sorry. I understood what you said but I think I should just have said that my, history gal’s mind is slowly getting slower and losing its sharpness but feels revived in natural settings. I did not express myself correctly. I am sorry again.
It’s ok! It wasn’t fair that you used my name in an ironic way.
I have places I go, with the intent of opening my heart. Places I go with the intent of opening my mind.
But fewer are the places that do both (open heart and mind). Those I cherish.
It is undeniable that each place has its own aura and energy that with or without realizing it affects us. Thoughts are indeed in our heads but somehow we cannot separate ourselves from nature yeah?
we were on vacation for the last three days. We found a place in Maine that we both stopped, breathed and relaxed. Amazing!
Apparently that is the reason why there is a gap between your last post and the previous one.
Glad you have a great time to enjoy something amazing, Doc.
yup three days no tech vacation with my bestie!
Nature is always good for the soul and mind. Peace and quiet are priceless.
Your perspective is my choice too, Carol. Thanks a lot!
I also feel best in nature and preferably by the water, dear friend …. it relaxes me a lot …. the picture is so and so something special …. great
Yes, I remember that you really like being on the beach and looking at the sea.
But this is so sweet and relaxing, my friend
Yes, you are right, my friend. This place so calming and relaxing.
I hope you visit him many times, dear friend
Unfortunately my wife does not really like there, too many insects flying around.
Concentration does not depend on where you are, it depends more on how “sharp” is your mind.
Nah! That’s what I like about you! The sharpness of the opinion of a philosopher with a combination of engineers.
