The Fresh Perspective...

Let’s get out there!

Could you imagine waking up to this every day?!

OCTOBER! Here we are! Am I the only one who can see Christmas in their sights? Before the snow comes down and we are stuck indoors, let’s take a minute to give pause and thanks for the outdoors. How incredible are these images of our beautiful earth? There are so many times I feel like I’m bothered and bogged down with ‘life stuff’. A solution? Outside! Even though it seams trivial, getting outside, even for a five minute breather, makes a HUGE difference.

I am excited for the leaves and the crisp smell that comes with fall. I like the look of a cold day outdoors just as much as the green lush days of the summer. The bugs are gone, the nights start getting shorter and a fire every weekend makes me feel so comforted. Outside is one of my favourite places to be up until end of October and by November, I’m only outside to use my vehicle and go for a run (I love outdoor running in the winter)

Now that it is getting colder, whats your outdoor maintenance like? Are there a lot of trees in your naighborhood? That scene of the orange, brown, and yellow leaves reminds me of so many things. Change, memory, family… It’s a sign of the things coming up. It also is a sign that you'll need to invest in a leaf blower or some sort of super rake or an abundance of children to aid in the gathering of the leaves.

I have been seeing more and more front yards without grass or any type of foliage that requires upkeep. I think of how barren that yard is devoid of the majestic tree and her leaves. Nonetheless, trees or no trees, the great outdoors really does have a therapeutic effect. And if your city has no smog or issues with pollution, get out there and take a few deep breaths in and out. It’s good for what ails ya!

That’s the fresh perspective…
