Appreciating

I unintentionally spent yesterday appreciating various things in life, something which I all too often forget to stop and take time for. There are so many good things going on right now, and one of my current priorities is to concentrate on them and do more of them rather than dwell on the negatives. 

To borrow from the well known quote, I am trying to accept the things I cannot change, find the courage to change those that I can, and practise gaining the wisdom to know the difference.

Some things I find helpful for realising this little mantra is, productivity, fresh air and a walk, so that's what I took. After running a few errands I spent the afternoon around the Shrine of Remembrance and the Royal Botanic Gardens, an area which I haven't explored yet at all. The weather was perfect for a walk, and an hour for lunch and reading a book under the shade of a tree.
