My nephew and I took a long hike in the woods today - he and I both needed it.

It was a chance to be together, and simultaneously be in our own space.

We walked nearly 10 miles for ~ 3 hours, and for as long as it was, time passed fast.

We both ended the walk happily out of breath and thankful to have spent a few moments together.

All of this to say - don’t underestimate the value of simple things - time to yourself, outside, by yourself or with another human being; that’s time well spent.
