I often see the phrase โHappy Humanistโ, and today, I took the time to really consider the saying.
A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon, in some beautiful winter sunshine, travelling to Arisaig, to visit family.
It has been a couple of months since I had driven the road north, but I really was taken aback by the spectacular settings. ย This country really does have the most amazing natural offerings.
I was truly happy, driving up the west coast on such a glorious afternoon and although there were a few points that my travel was reduced to a snailโs pace as tourists slowed to take in the stunning views, (and who could blame them!), as well as some hairy bends. ย The slower pace allowed me the time to marvel at the stunning scenery and truly appreciate how happy Scotlandโs scenery makes me feel.
Humanism promotes a care for the natural world and it also allows reminds me to take the time, every so often, to consider my responsibility to care for this spectacular planet, so here I am, very nearly at my final destination, enjoying a cup of coffee (thanks to the flask I packed), enjoying the glorious sunshine, taking in the amazing views and a near cloudless sky.
We have one life to live and the obligation to make every day count, and today, I feel I have certainly achieved that.
