This video and these pictures are from a walk I took this morning to a nearby park with boardwalks and lots of birds and running water and some funny smells and even garter snakes and snails and slugs and beyond. I really needed to get out and the overcast weather was more welcoming to me than the idea of the gym.

Such a beautiful place! Can almost breath in the air.
ReplyDeleteI am very glad to have this park nearby :o) Though sometimes it can smell funny!
DeleteI do understand. Maybe not exactly what you are feeling but the general feeling of hopelessness and wondering what the point of all of it is. The last few months I have being doing okay, some days are actually good but I know how depression works. I know that it will come back. Well, not come back because it is always there lurking. It is just how hard it will come back. It is a bitch.
ReplyDeleteI hope your walk was peaceful. xo
I hate the "hopelessness and wondering what the point of all of it is" and living in fear! Spot on. I hope you continue to have better days.
DeleteOh, and thank you, my walk was nice and peaceful :o)
I am with you. I really like walking on the 'soft days'. Fighting your way out from under the concrete cloud is so very hard. And the battle never ends.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you got out.
Heartfelt hugs and oceans of caring.
Thank you :o) some days it's one step at a time all day!
DeleteHow beautiful, Hannah! Getting out and about is one of my favourite ways to combat depression. Sending you lots of love and hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda! Hugs!
DeleteYou did exactly what I wish I could have done today...Thanks for sharing and hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks e :o)
DeleteThis was incredible, Hannah! Thank you for sharing it with us. That is a beautiful place to walk through and think about things. I hope your day got better and I hope tomorrow is a good one. One day at a time...
ReplyDeleteThanks Martha! I ended up going out to a cafe that afternoon to keep the ball rolling staying occupied, it worked out pretty well!
DeleteCloudy days are the best walk-about days in my humble opinion. What a beautiful area! Nature can be so healing sometimes. For me, at least.
ReplyDeleteEvery time I get out and about in Nature I think, "Oh, I need to do this more often" but it still seems to be a little bit of challenge. Maybe one day it will just be a new norm :o)
DeleteOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO look at all those forget-me-nots!!! They're my favourite flower. It looks beautiful there.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to have captured your favorite flowers! Yay!
DeleteBecause of where I'm reading the blogs, I cannot watch the video, but that's on me, not you.
ReplyDeleteI love, love, love overcast days. And rainy days. Sunny days too, but I do fancy a nice spooky day.
My video skills are limited, I admit it fully!
DeleteI find gray days to be essential and rain rejuvenating :o)
