The darling buds of May (updated)

 (update) The original post title I wrote made me cringe…omitted that damp statement…shivering from the ew-ness. (end of update)

It has been drizzling/raining this past week, but I was able to find some window of time to take walks outside. Nature’s floral display is undeniably beautiful. Unfortunately, my pollen sensitivity is competitive. What have you been up to, my imaginary audience? Same same? Me? Ditto. I’ve been enjoying the serenity of more real-life living with a reduction in exposure to internet scrolling. Not a complete elimination of exposure—there are things online that facilitate access to happiness and/or inspiration. 😄 Everything in moderation. FOMO is an illusion. AM radio headlines, traffic, and weather: basic nice-to-know. The point of this post is to encourage you to go outside and enjoy nature. If I’m preaching to the choir, then perhaps we can spread the mood? Excellent.
