Yesterday morning, after I dropped my daughter off at school, I got home, grabbed another cup of hot coffee and took a walk outside around our property.
We have a fairly large piece of land, lots of woods and foliage. Several gardens and all kinds of little nooks and crannies to explore. The problem is I rarely explore them, because I’m just too busy. Every day I rush by the beauty around me, neglecting to admire what has been put on this earth in it’s simplest form.
So, yesterday morning, camera in hand….I stopped to take a look. It was early morning, probably about 8:45 and slightly foggy and definitely dewy…if that’s a word? I switched to the close-up lens on my little Panasonic Lumix and went exploring.
Now I know spiders may not be very relaxing to most people, but if you leave them undisturbed and really take the time to see their handiwork, mostly done in an evening’s time….it’s really quite magnificent!
As I wandered around my own yard, I felt a calmness as I connected to nature. The Fall season is my favorite time of year with the cool crisp weather and the vibrant hues of nature falling from the tallest tree tops.
I challenge you to take 10 minutes out of your busy day to do the same. Grab your cup of coffee and walk and observe what is right in front of you. Take some time to consider the little things in it’s simplest form.
Wishing you a less stressed day, Mercedes.
