I'm sorry for your recent loss but glad to hear you're working towards a healthier you. I wrote a post yesterday about choices in that respect, food and exercise and healthy or fast food. It just makes sense to take a little more care of ourselves although many wait for a momentous health-event to get started.

Nature is a healer and does so without even trying really, or so I find it. Depression, loneliness, despondency...whatever it is, there's a moment found in nature that can help reduce the feeling or mitigate the risk of it accelerating. This is what I find anyway.

Thanks for your kind message and I wish you all the best in your journey; feel free to drop in and let me know how you are ok?
