Today the things I am grateful for relate to nature and the amazing beauty it provides for us all if we are open enough to see and appreciate it.
One thing I love so much about fall are the beautiful shades of fire reds, golden yellows, and outstanding oranges. There really isn’t anything like it. Although I don’t get to see as many glorious colors now that I live in South Carolina, I remember how picturesque the colors were in my hometown in Indiana. I remember walking under huge oak trees with colorful leaves falling all around me and smiling at such immense beauty. I miss that very much. I was reminded of that today when I saw some beautiful leaves changing colors on my walk today. Such a seemingly simple view made me smile and reminded me of the natural beauty that is all around us.
The other thing that I am grateful for today also comes from nature…fresh air. This week I wasn’t able to get outside as much as I normally do so I decided to take a much needed walk on my lunch break. The fresh air was amazing! There is nothing better than a bit of fresh air and sunshine to help soothe the soul.
Add to that the changing colors of the leaves and you get one perfectly peaceful connection with nature.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend and you get to enjoy some natural beauty in your part of the world.
The leaves are getting quite lovely here. They keep me so busy in the yard with cleaning them up that sometimes I forget to look up and notice their beauty. Thanks for the reminder!
Fall/Autumn is my favourite season, closely followed by Spring, which we, in Australia are experiencing. I loved to be reminded of Autumn and the wonderful colours, fresh air, and general calm of the season… Have a wonderful weekend..! 🙂
