Once again<\/a> August is gone, and September has arrived; in many countries in the Northern Hemisphere it\u00b4s time to go \"back to school\", for kids and also for adults. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ireland usually enjoys a few days of good weather at the beginning of September (which is officially considered autumn), and this weekend has seen a continuation of that tradition, so the girls and I have taken the opportunity to stretch that summer feeling a bit more before fully returning to the routine, and we\u00b4ve been out to see \"blue and green\", as my friend Bea would say \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We took this picture today at the Blessington Lakes, a water reservoir located in county Wicklow which services Dublin and its surrounding areas. We started the day exploring the lake by kayak, then we went for lunch nearby with some friends (we even had churros for dessert!) and finished with a nice walk around the area, chatting along and enjoying the scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Open air, exercise, tasty food, nature and good company; what else could we ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I first heard of this idea of going out to the \"blue and green\", I really loved it; I generally tend to stay at home a lot, probably too much, and I get lazy about going out, but I know very well that I feel much much better when I go out for walks: I recharge my physical, mental and emotional batteries. And if it\u00b4s a nice day and the surroundings are also nice, that\u00b4s the icing on the cake... Another friend of ours, Juanjo, used to call it \"performing photosynthesis\", and I also find that expression very fitting. It\u00b4s incredible how much a simple walk out in the open air can improve our mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blue and green. Green and blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, when I got to think about writing this post, what came to my mind was a song by U2, Beautiful Day<\/em>, which says \"see the world in green and blue\"<\/em>. This particular line was inspired by a sentence that astronaut Neil Armstrong said while looking at the Earth from the Moon. And the song, in general, encourages us to find joy in the small things of life, even when we\u00b4re going through a rough patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about you? What helps you to recharge your batteries? Do you enjoy seeing the blue and green? What\u00b4s your favourite landscape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"It\u00b4s a beautiful day\u2026 Don\u00b4t let it get away\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
