A glance at beauty

Writing this post on Saturday evening, I felt very blue. All day, I'd felt this way. I apologised to CBC all afternoon for feeling gloomy. I wasn't grumpy but felt despondent. Having been in the house till about 3.30pm, I felt a desperate sense of cabin-fever at being inside, unable to motivate myself to do anything remotely useful, just a bit of reading, colouring of envelopes and feeling generally glum. Finally, I declared that I had to leave the house and we set off to Fryerning for a little walk. It was cold, very muddy and rather grey but I felt the better for a walk in the fresh air.

Today, the weather was very different. I took a walk in the park, a beautiful place I am privileged to be able to access so easily.
The sun beamed down upon me. Everything was bathed in a golden, joyous glow and all that had felt so wrong with the world suddenly seemed well again. When the sun shines, my heart does the same.

The breeze suddenly isn't so cold.
The frozen hands thaw a little.
The mud isn't so sticky
The grass is a little greener.

Everyone I walked past, I greeted with a smile and a "Good Morning," and everyone responded in kind. Share the joy and the joy is doubled.

Enjoy the view.
