Although you might not understand why, you are exactly where you need to be right now.

On my journey out into winter wonderland today, I somehow managed to drop my sunglasses, and of course because of the snow, I didn’t hear or see them fall. When I realized that they were gone, I told myself that it must have happened for a reason.

That reason was to randomly find them an hour or so later on my walk back. I snickered to myself, put them on, and smiled all the way home.

For a few brief hours today the rain let up and allowed the sun to dazzle. It was one of those perfect temperatures where it is just warm enough to take off your jacket, yet still refreshing. The plants were glistening with raindrops and the butterflies and bumble bees were dancing flower to flower. I rolled up my jeans, took off my shoes and walked through the dewy grass barefoot. 

It is amazing what a leisurely stroll outdoors can do to energize one’s soul.

Nature is truly my favourite pick-me-up. Here are some photos of some friends and sights I met along the way. Today’s recommendation: get outside and enjoy the summer while it’s still with us!
