I’ve decided that in 2018 I will do more of what makes me happy.
It’s not that I haven’t been happy. I am actually very happy with my life .
When I’m feeling less happy, or a bit sad, it’s usually nothing to do with my life, as it is at this moment. I tend to feel less happy when I focus on past events and things out of my control that have affected my life.
Mostly I can put these unhappy feelings to one side, but occasionally they do overtake me a little.
One of the things that makes me happiest is bushwalking. So in 2018 I will be dragging out the Camino boots and getting out into the bush more often.
There are many wonderful bush tracks in Central Victoria, where I live. Many of them almost in my backyard.
The plan is to do a big bushwalk every week where possible. So watch out for mouth watering photos of the Aussie bush to come.

What makes you happy? I’d love to hear. You can leave a message in comments if you’d like.

I am looking forward to seeing those photos! Taking a walk about my new town and the trails throughout the woods is one of my favourite things to do these days.
Thanks for visiting Cherie. I will check out your blog
I’m sure your photos will be worth the wait Jennifer. I love a good walk – as long as there’s a clear trail or path. I don’t like beating my way through undergrowth or walking into spider webs (or snakes!)
Same for me Leanne. I’d prefer to stay away from spiders and snakes! These days I find preferring to stick to well marked tracks, where I can zone out a bit without having to centraye in my footing
Since being away from home I’ve done so much walking and it makes me happy too. I think I like being active! Bushwalking is great for the soul 😊
I agree Deb. For me it’s necessary for my wellbeing to get out into the bush as often as I can.
