This summer, I am spending a lot of time outdoors walking and enjoying the simple pleasures of nature – the wind blowing through the trees, a touch of sun glistening on the river; all around me nature speaks and I listen. I feel alive and I am able to enjoy the outdoors. I am thankful.
Life has changed and may never go back to what it was before as we all live amidst the current pandemic but there is still much that we can be thankful for. I am still adjusting and some days are better than others - yet, there is much to give thanks for.
