Joy Every Step of The Way: Sweet November

Photo By: M.

November is here and nearly gone. Too soon I say. Thanksgiving is only a week away back home, and I'm beginning to really think about how I will celebrate the day here. Cook a bit on my own and have a small "Friends-Giving" or maybe go in to town and see what the craic will be. It's just a normal November in these parts, so I will need to be creative. Can do.

Today I am sharing a few photos from some of my favorite parks in the Dublin area.

I love to be outside during Autumn, so I have taken an even greater effort this year to enjoy this time of the year. The weather has been particularly great for this time of the year here (on/off rain, windy, damp, cooling temperatures, BUT mostly sunny...even if still quite cold).

One of my best memories for this month has to be taking walks, spins on my bike, and jogs through parks like the ones below. My senses have just flooded with joy to see colors on the trees lately and appreciate how nature is changing: Beauty in the breakdown. It has been a daily practice this month to allow myself to honor the moment and just 'be'.
