Finding Joy in Nature
There is a big fir tree I visit every day. I don’t walk to it—I simply look at it through my sunroof while sitting in my car. Living with cerebellar ataxia has taught me to slow down in ways I never expected. What once felt only like limitation has become an invitation to notice the small things and find joy in quiet, ordinary moments. Nature has become my greatest teacher, proving that joy is still available to us—we only have to pause long enough to receive it.
