In the pay as you use or pay as you go world, it is very important for us to be grateful for thr things nature has freely given to us From the oxygen which we breathe to the water we drink nature has provided us with many things we have never once thought of or for that matter needed. Because of this topic I had to look around my environment once again just to be grateful for nature, in my country we are privileged to have a lot of natural resources everything is green, we have good and clean water, our weather is very favorable and convenience for survive, here in Nigeria we had have any natural disaster aside from floor that happens once in a while. But in all this we still have a lot of things to be grateful for.
The most valuable or one of the most valuable gifts of nature is the gift of the beauty. Beauty is not specific, you can find it in the sunset, mountain or basically anywhere around the globe. Sometimes if we Use our time to acknowledge and reflect on the wonders that nature has provided for us, it's can help calm us down and reduce the stress that fills our lives.
Aside from the air and sun we have here, my country is bless with good soil that when cultivated it gives us bountiful produce which includes
vegetables, grains, tubers, and all types, forms and kinds of plants from which we get nutrients to sustain us. As a country we are naturally gifted with crude oil and lot more of mineral resources. We owe our bodies and souls to the resources that nature provides through which we get the required energy for survival.
Apart from food and beauty, nature offers us recreation, and in the present day this means opportunities for leisure and rest. One can choose just to go for a walk in the park, a hike through the forest or just going for a swim in the ocean, time spent in nature is very beneficial. Research has revealed that people get relaxed when they sit in the outdoors as well as their feelings improve and so does their wellbeing. That is why is it advisable to always plant trees and flowers in our surroundings as it helps us connect with nature when we admire them.
But one outstanding thing we have to note is that all these gifts of nature are not always available for us, to be used. These favors of nature are under the danger of climate change, deforestation, pollution and other twenty first century activities. It is for us to conserve the environment in order for us and our children to enjoy the resources that nature gives to us.
And next time when you draw your lungs full of fresh air, look at that pretty flower or eat a sweet fruit, remember who is your benefactor. It is high time for all of us to be responsible citizens of the world and perfectly appreciate the favors of the nature which has showered such precious gifts so freely on us.
