I normally agree about the message to the insects. However, since I am recovering from some pretty massive heart attacks this year I have folks who are over protective. Back in March I could barely stand to do the 7 steps w/o nearly falling over with each step. Today I am much stronger. Personally I prefer the outdoors near my zen garden. Now that my energy has improved I will soon return to the outdoor setting. I feel the urge to stand near my maple tree.
Earlier in the summer our health department posted a warning about an infestation of dangerous mosquitoes. I only got bitten once but that was enough to raise some concern from family members. I was surprised that I even got one bite but maybe I was sending enough energy.
