The pleasure of nature when one is sober

I love to go to new places all the time. I guess the years spent on the road traveling has made me stir crazy. But ever so often my husband and I will be sitting on the couch talking about whatever, as we do often. We decide to just hop in a car and drive.. go explore, find a new place we haven't been and go wonder. I think I tend to enjoy it a little more than he does.. we are both from 2 completely different walks of life after all.
I find it peaceful and since I've been sober it is easier to enjoy the wonders of nature.  I actually take the time to look. Whem i was on drugs the sun was unbearable and I didnt see color well.
As a teen I grew up in the country of northwestern Arkansas. It is very beautiful there. I appreciate it more visiting as an adult. Probably because I am not depressed anymore. 
I see the beauty in the trees, the birds, the streams, and the way the sun glissens off the green.
