One thing that I am grateful for this May is a truly beautiful park day.
Every once in a while, I like to take some time out of my day and do two things:
- Take a long walk in a park – people watching, enjoying the sunshine, taking in the kids playing in the playground, the runners, bikers.
- Sit down on a park bench with a good book and a beverage
I’ve found over the years, that there’s a good amount of great places in the city to just enjoy the space, and enjoy what the city has to offer. Taking a great book and just reading while other people enjoy the space is a true blessing on a warm summer day.
I often take for granted how accessible and easy it is to just enjoy the outdoors – most often a free, third space. If you’re reading this, take some time to enjoy a great park day! Seven minutes or five hours, it’s still a great way to ensure that you’re feeling connected to the land. Take up some space, and enjoy some shade.
“The true meaning of life is to plant trees, under whose shade you do not expect to sit.”
