I do love nature, just not public beaches, at least in South Florida’s needles-pollution beaches. I prefer The USA’s Northwest, Washington, Oregon & Alaska, & other countries’ regions (like Scandinavia <SP?>) with same mountains & trees & nature, just hate their cold. So it is more about distraction into my doing right/activist mind.
“Touching grass” (well, a beach in this case) is undeniably one of the best things you can do. Exposure to nature, and helping others, I can’t think of anything better:-).
Hey, your dog had an awesome parent, you know that? 🐶

It is an excellent distraction, as far as distractions go. It won’t be perfect, of course, but it will accomplish something all the same. ("Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good":-)

True, I will need a distraction,
Not to be sexist or anything like that, but to be real, the possibility for this living in a isolating area, single, fit & 50ish man, doing something people think is good thing to do, seeing sexy, bikini clad, young & fit women is a great distraction & possibilities.OpenStars@piefed.social 19 hours ago
Definitely. And they will likewise presumably enjoy being looked at, respectfully and not creepily of course:-).
But maybe also carve out some time specifically to be alone with your thoughts, so as to help yourself heal? Or if it’s too soon, that’s understandable - just be kind to yourself however you can manage.

It occurred to me, how interesting your “Touching grass” comment was,…
…I used to ride my bicycle to our community’s grass areas in-front of isolated & quiet properties, so I could lay in the grass, experience nature’s bugs (a lot of Bumble Bees; was making my own sunscreen then, that attracted pollinators) & able to concentrate on the work on my ideas for inventions, sports computer gaming & book. Later on, I found a community of immigrant workers, of the local Ag. businesses, at the local & historical grocery store. Until after they price gauged me, on ice cubes, when my electricity would not stay on, for weeks of I spending money on their cheaper & larger amount of ice cubes.

Touching grass can be very soothing.

Not just soothing, but invigerating one’s mental activities.
