I'm sure you're wondering why I'm posting a picture of a bench. This is MY bench.
London, Ontario has several trails that wind along the Thames River, which runs from north to south, through the city. I'm lucky enough to live beside one of these trails.
This bench is about half a km east of my home. The view here is soothing. The sounds of the active bird life and the water helps me shed the stresses of my day. So I sit here and unwind before I start my trek, off trail, through the woods beside the river. If you're quiet enough you'll see deer!
Before I go back to the "real" world I like to sit on this bench and just relax.
This bench is also the milestone that my husband wanted to reach two weeks after each of his joint replacements....he had three. Now we sit here together, happy that he can walk with me, PAIN FREE.
What's your special place?
