Just a simple thing like holding and doodling a leaf or bit of twig is a calming and peaceful way to connect with nature and appreciate our surroundings (without getting concerned about all the gardening jobs!) I hope your top progress is coming along.

I really wish I could draw (I can't), but I love the idea of journaling and mindfulness.

I just love the journal you have made of your holiday and such a shame about not being able to find the 'right' paper but your paintings look gorgeous just the shame. What a lovely memento for your family later on.
