Being outside and enjoying green spaces and fresh air feels good and can improve our mental health .I certainly feel better after a nature walk but it's hard to get there.
Maybe we need a virtual space to share information and experiences
Here's a start :

Hey @Mustang67 ,
Click on your Profile. On the side, there is a widget with 'Draft Posts'. Have a look there.

Thank you @tyme I managed to come across it. It just didn't save the changes that I made when I read over it again.
I has just successfully posted.
I was a bit stress for a bit there, as I was mentioning my painful past.
But my stress turned to absolute delight when it loaded for me to edit.

Thanks @Dimity I used to be a wedding photographer, and had a love for scenic photography, so I used to have a love for taking photos.
I haven't picked up my professional camera in over 5 or 6 years. It would be so out of date by now,
But it is definitely something that I would love to take up again.

Very nice @Healandlove
If you want to see some blue, I could post a couple of photos I took when holidaying in Esperance. I had never seen a beach with such blue water in real life before. It was so beautiful.
