I decided to look it up and was surprised that the popular quote was actually part of a really well-said paragraph. Here it is in its entirety:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"Walk away quietly in any direction and taste the freedom of the mountaineer. Camp out among the grasses and gentians of glacial meadows, in craggy garden nooks full of nature's darlings. Climb the mountains and get their good tidings, Nature's peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees. The winds will blow their own freshness into you and the storms their energy, while cares will drop off like autumn leaves. As age comes on, one source of enjoyment after another is closed, but nature's sources never fail.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003eThat very last line is actually my favorite - John is saying that as we get older and we're no longer able to do the things we once did, the beauty of nature will never fail in inspiring us. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat felt like such a great reminder, and I'm excited for you all to get it. I hope it inspires you as much as it has me. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"shg-c\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eBig Hugs!\u003cbr\u003eJason\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"ZOX","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":48249642844458,"sku":"1-3-23-WB-ORD-07-S","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":48249642975530,"sku":"1-3-23-WB-ORD-07-M","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":48249643073834,"sku":"1-3-23-WB-ORD-07-L","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0873\/6892\/5482\/files\/HappyMountains1KOutside_1_cf1a0318-3087-47eb-9ce4-590cc942ca8b.webp?v=1714018877"},{"product_id":"wonderfully-made","title":"Wonderfully Made","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhen I was growing up in Michigan, I remember thinking to myself one day how crazy it was that I was shoveling something off of our driveway that other people didn't even have. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe had just experienced an insane snowstorm and it was so thick that even our snowblower wouldn't work, so we went out and did it by hand. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou have a lot of time to think about things when you're shoveling a driveway like that. It's dark, freezing cold and your mind begins to wander. And that night, I remember my mind trying to comprehend how there could be this much snow, yet no two snowflakes are the same. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHow could that be? \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut as I reflect on it now, and I think about the other 7.8 billion people here, it begins to make sense. Just like snowflakes, no two of us are the same. We each have our own hopes, fears, dreams and aspirations. Our lives may be similar in length, but they range vastly in experiences, giving each of us a unique perspective that is completely our own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd that's what I love about this ZOX.

I think that's because like time, we don't really realize how valuable it is until there's not much left. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat was my hope for this incredibly nostalgic reminder - that you'd take a moment to appreciate this time you have together with people you care about this holiday season while you still can.
