I have put magnifying glasses in our community garden at work. I’m hoping people use them to look more closely at nature. I find it so good for my mental health, getting absorbed in looking, no agenda, no big purpose, just looking.
At least I’ll be able to play with them if the groups don’t! 🤣

We are leaving magnifying glasses out in our community garden as we believe one step closer to nature is a step closer to wellbeing.
Hopefully they’ll encourage people to take a closer look & spend time mindfully observing. We’ll see come Tuesday….I know nothing in the world will keep me off them!

Outdoor anxiety work at Sodit yesterday - poor Angela is feeling dreadful! It’s so helpful to get people to identify their symptoms - that’s half the battle won!
Next week we’ll be looking at how we can relieve symptoms and regulate our nervous systems.
Thundercats are fight/flight teaching aid! 🤣

So many lovely smiles at our Wellbeing Festival - especially love our Sodit grown plants making people happy! And of course there’s always one (me) that has to spoil things! 🤣🤣

What a smiley day - my heart is still beaming now! 💖

Happy Mandarin duck high in a tree looking free from all the stress in our world. Sharing for anybody who needs a mental health boost this morning - he’s made my heart glow! 💖

I’m looking forward to seeing the results of all your research when you get new specs. I will post pics of mine when I get home as I’m invested in this now!!

It’s good to have a new hobby. 😉
The glasses you describe sound lovely. I went to Specsavers 🤦‍♀️ & I got panicky & just picked a random pair & felt badly advised as they would have known too big for my strength, also they are soooo heavy!!
I’m going to go to a small optician like you do next time.

I like your glasses. I’m -8.5 & made mistake of getting lenses that were quite big & half my head disappears on either side when I have them on! 🤦‍♀️ Defo thick frames, small lens area for me.

I get scared without my contacts, I feel really vulnerable in my glasses due to being so short sighted!

I lifted feeling mentally bad a little bit yesterday by doing good things for nature.
Made insect homes in gaps in my garden, left nesting stuff out which is being eagerly used & am very excited about new sparrow terrace! Had my gutters fixed which was sad for sparrows - so am putting it right! 🐝 💚

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Thinking about that made me smile this morning.

It brings me comfort knowing he is there. ❤️ Thank you for your thoughts - I know you understand. xxx

Thank you ❤️‍🩹 He went out on a high, he wasn’t poorly in himself but would have been due to a throat injury. I let him go before it got bad so he was still bombing around being happy. 16 years together ❤️
I was able to bury him opposite the woods we walked in every day so he is here looking over them.

Thank you! I will check out, so important to have the smiles there for those times we can’t get outside. ❤️

I’ve been meaning to come and find you for a while! I dropped off the internet but I have often thought of you & Pirate. So happy to have seen some Pirate pictures.

Fly passed away in August - I’m still trying to get used to life without him - it’s so very hard. 😢
It is lovely to see you again. ❤️

Hello Bluesky! Jumping in with pictures from a day off I took to do some observing & soothe my busy brain.

Inland Oystercatchers, a fluffy baby kestrel, patterns in old heather & getting up close with tree lichen all helped my mental health. Looking forward to seeing friend old & new on here. ❤️
