It is an understatement to say that I am simply loving all the beautiful leaves around. The range of colours, shapes and sizes always amazes me. Mother Nature inspires me and I just can’t get enough of her. I also can’t seem to take enough photographs of leaves!!!

Yes, it is autumn. As I walk through all these fallen leaves, I remember what a special time of change autumn is. We start to let go of the fullness and warmth of summer and prepare ourselves for the cold and stillness of winter. The face of Mother Nature changes daily. As do I and as do you. Oh, the beauty and difficulty of change!

One of the many small blessings I have received by being here, now and with gratitude in Hedingen is this – the ease, joy and freedom of being able to take myself out for long walks. A small thing that has a rather large impact on my life.

Breathe slowly. Smile deeply. And feel joy.

I am happy to be present in nature. It allows me my space to reflect on my life. It gives me moments of stillness that I really cherish. It helps me to maintain my balance. And it inspires me to take more photographs. And for all this and much more I am truly grateful.

Breathe. Smile. Joy.

What small blessing brings you joy today? Please share your joy here if you wish too, and remember to be grateful for all the small blessings in your beautiful life.

with love, Delicia
