Well, I definitely found this challenge challenging. While it was easier on days off (weekends, holidays) to get out and access nature, it was certainly harder once back to work and the day to day responsibilities of the week. The biggest hurdle for me was time. I too was and am caught up in getting places. Home to school. School to work. Work to school. School to store. Store to home. Repeat.
Growing up in a rural area, I think accessing nature was perhaps easier than being in the city, although looking at my son, he seems to be able to do so with ease in the same surroundings. So maybe it has more to do with the way we live our lives. I feel like I am too often saying "hurry up" or "it's time to go". Maybe taking 5 more minutes, or even a minute won't hurt? Maybe it will actually help.
It has been equally important for me to take the moment, as much as the moment being in nature. Today I was enjoying the walk to work and saw this great shot (above) of the blossoming branches on the blue sky. I almost kept going, but the seed has been planted to stop for a moment, and I'm glad I did.
