Nature Appreciation

Another day - another park.
I just discovered this wonderful spot .
The area around the water is most likely subject to floods. The trees, shrubs have this coating of sand on them which creates very interesting and unique colouring... Lots of dead tree trunks, driftwood complete the picture. My only regret was that I had only my point-and-shoot with me which did not allow me to  fully document the beauty of the area. But, I'll be back!
(Lots of Ducks, babies and adults, geese - and even a bunny on our way there:) )

Nature Appreciation

and Gratitude:

I've been chasing this butterfly with my camera all week...
finally:

... and one for Food awareness:

Veggie Burger

Delicious:)

DAY 4 AND 5:

I did Blissology Thursday Quickie - partially. 

It is my favourite segment :)

Meditation is something I need to practice... It's not something that just comes to me...

Day 1 - Blissology Challenge

Sprinkler in the Sunset

Yoga - Monday Quickie from Blissology Project
I'm always reminded how good I feel after a few minutes morning yoga...

Meditation - from same
(needs a lot of work... the mind keeps wondering...:) )

Nature Appreciation -
I know, I promised pictures. I tried. Uncooperative flock of Crows took off before I raised my camera :)
It would have been a real cool shot... almost  Hitchcock-like.

Gratitude and Food Awareness:
It kind of went hand in hand today: I realized that I have access to such a variety of food...
I'm also aware that such an abundance is not always a blessing... We don't need cherries in January - but I surely enjoy them NOW!

Wild card:
I'm writing that card right now...
:)  It's so true - hand written cards matter so much more than e-cards, e-vites etc.
It's becoming a lost art.

Can't Slow Down - We Need Those Challenges

Bike riding attempts continue...  Not much improvement... I figure if I do it enough times something will sink in...

I admit:
I'm a Challenge-junkie, if there is such a thing...

I loved the Blissology project. I got up at the crack of dawn (oh, what am I saying: in total darkness) to do the workshop, in January. Eoin Finn has a wonderfully positive attitude and great yoga classes. When I found out about the current 28 Day Online Challenge, I just had to join. I have not decided on the starting date but I'm definitely going ahead with it.

Here is the list:
Yoga - I miss my regular practice. I need 20-25 minutes a day... it makes me feel better.
Meditation - a tough one. I am open to it, but find it difficult. However,  I'll keep trying.
Nature Appreciation - No Problem! - I'll just post my photos... :)
Food Awareness - :)
Gratitude - It's there, not always verbalized, but it is there.
