During the time that we’ve been confined to our homes, I think we’ve realised that spending more time in nature is essential to our well-being.  When the restrictions started lifting ever so slightly last year, the first thing Ryan and I did was head out to Dinokeng nature reserve for a day trip just for a change of scenery and to fully submerge ourselves in nature.  There is something about seeing a natural environment doing what it does when humans aren’t around that quiets the soul.  We might begin to ask ourselves why it’s important to spend more time outdoors and when we truly analyse the benefits, it only encourages us to get outside.
