One flower bed down and two to go. It’s a young bed so I’m hoping in a month or so she’ll fill out.

Forests have a positive influence on our health. Trees filter dust and soot particles from our air - and the mere sight of a tree measurably reduces our stress, researchers have found. I wish you to find a tree near you and a blessed rest of the day.❤️💚💙☘️🌿🌱🌳🌲🍀💚

The rocks remember battles past,
The waves strike hard but never last.
Yet here she treads, where legends fade,
a warrior bound by oath once made.

Dogs at heel, like wolves of old,
their eyes alight, their spirits bold.
And in her step, the earth still feels,
the strength of one who never kneels.

A new day, my friends. A new start. If you are struggling today, try and find solace in nature, in the simplest of joys that remind us what it is to be human. To be alive. Empathy with the world around us is what binds us for the greater good. May your day be peaceful. ☺️ #calm
