There is always beauty and hope if you look for it. Sometimes it’s harder to find and other times it’s right in your face like sunlight on spring blossom!
Nature is always soothing to the soul for me. In the hardest times there is always something beautiful to see in nature, from a whole landscape to tiny details. It’s why I love my weekly heath walks, seeing the changes week by week and even through the endless bloody rain this year, there was always something special to discover.
The turning of the seasons is lesson in hope and gratitude - things will change, nothing stays the same forever. If times are hard, they will pass; if times are good they too will pass.
Whatever you are going through right now, take a little time to notice what is beautiful and let it fill you with hope and joy - whether that is spring blossom, a smile on a stranger’s face, a window full of patisserie, the curl of steam from a perfect cup of tea, seeing the sky in a rain puddle or the free-wheeling arcs of birds in flight.
