“Much happiness is overlooked because it doesn’t cost anything”
Your appreciation of nature costs you no more than a few minutes of your time each day. What returns is it bringing for you? Take a few moments, if you haven’t already done so this week, to journal out all of the things that you are enjoying from simply enjoying what is there for you to see and sense. Can you put a price on the positive feelings it gives you?
Keep going - you have the weekend ahead to add more minutes to your moments if you wish.

“80 per cent of success in life is showing up.” Woody Allen
Success and happiness are interlinked. You can have one without the other but usually something is missing in both if one is absent.
