My happy place is always in nature. I feel so grateful to live so close to a park in London and I’ve recently made a commitment to go for a short walk in the morning before I turn my computer on. It feels such a tonic to be among the trees, to watch the playful squirrels, to walk around the lake and try to spot the heron that frequently visits. Being a part of nature always puts life into perspective, seeing that there is a wider world than my own and that there is beauty to be found even on dark, dreary days. I’ve started to take a photo at the same place each day and it’s wonderful to capture the seasons changing. It somehow reminds me to try to move more with the seasons, to trust that all things shift and flow, and to remember on difficult days that spring will come around again.
