patupaiareheFinally guilted myself into doing some physical exercise today, and I'm so glad I did. I went for a long walk up in the Botanical Gardens, and it was food for my soul.
It was so nice, getting away and being surrounded by greenery, with trees towering over your head and dripping on you, and the green smell of the wet ground. In some of the crags and valleys of the gardens, traffic sounds die away and it's just so silent. The only sound the birds and the crunch of your shoes on the path. Listening and just hearing nothing is so relaxing. There's some part of me that's always noticing those background noises and telling me they're not important, and the feeling of not having to do that is fantastic.
Then I ended up in the playground and went on the swings and stared at the sky. I love swings. The swoosh of them and the way the chains go slack when you're going really high.
Who cares if I'm an adult, I'm going to play on swings anyway.
