It has been so nice to reflect on my surroundings and I felt very privileged that I not only had the chance to reflect on one area but several areas in Florida like Tampa, West Palm and Plant City, but also every state from Florida to California and in between. As I travelled cross-country in the beginning of the summer, I got to see massive windmills, desserts untouched by man and then somewhere man had completely taken over like Las Vegas.
I realize now that I have a lot more work to do in order to help reduce my ecological footprint. Having a garden, letting it mellow in the toilet, creating compost in my backyard, keeping the air at 78 degrees Fahrenheit in the summer is not enough. It is necessary to do better than that and spread awareness of the harmful causes we are ultimately doing to ourselves to the rest of the world. I want to volunteer and travel more to help and lend a hand in other parts of the world.
On a more simplistic note, it was nice to have a journal without so much structure. Writing in my journal gave me time to sit and be pensive and just let my thoughts ride. The required walks around the neighborhood were a very good opener to this aspect and it was great to personally end my journal with thoughts at my home with my family.
