Nature’s Healing

Amanda, 03748

Story Description

I share how living in rural New Hampshire offers health and safety during the challenging time of the COVID-19 pandemic.

I feel lucky to live in New Hampshire.
It offers a vast expanse of the natural world, away from people when that is desired.
This is helpful when contact with people is to be avoided for safety during the COVID-19 pandemic.
So many are unable to isolate.
I enjoy nature and wildlife photography and the natural world has always lifted my spirit. For pandemic challenges, my rural NH home’s beautiful setting offers another level of health and safety.
