Enjoy Life

The November 2023 edition of the PBC challenged all participants to enjoy life! Often, that's easier said than done. But, as I learned from The Science of Well-Being online course by Dr. Laurie Santos, happiness and enjoyment are determined by circumstances, your genetic "set point" and thoughts/actions. So this month I share 5 thoughts/actions that helped me enjoy life to the fullest!

Get Low

It's easy to get lazy with photography, and take all your shots from standing position. This month's photo blogging challenge theme prompted us to get low, for at least five photos.

Nearby Nature Project 1/

In 2022, I'm relaunching a monthly feature: Nearby Nature Project. Articles will focus on nearby nature, such as planter pots, gardens, yards, neighbourhood and nearby parks/trails. Each story will include at least one link to an interesting article or research study, YouTube, podcast, nature-related app, book, course or other materials. And I'll share a nearby nature subject that caught my attention over the past month.
