When I need to be grounded and get my head together, I find that I seek comfort in small things. I’ve found this recently in hiking up Gellért Hill. No matter what’s going on, I can put one foot after the other, see the city from a different perspective, and accomplish something. Taking to the hill with nothing but some water and Joni Mitchell playing on my headphones is sometimes just what I need to feel renewed.
When I was younger I loved taking photos of almost everything I saw. My dad used to say that I shouldn’t take so many pictures of things and should take more of people. He was, of course, right, but sometime’s I’m alone and want to focus on and remember the small things. Here’s what I was focusing on today. They aren’t the best photos but the mindfulness they brought was necessary today.

What beautiful pictures! I loved the snails and the mossy wall especially. There was one with a statue on a hill in the background–looked like a woman with her arms raised. Do you know who/what that is?
Love, G’ma

Thanks!! The statue on top of Gellert hill is called the Liberty Statue, celebrating the liberation of Hungary by the Soviets from Nazi Germany. It’s from 1947; the meaning of the statue has changed to celebrate Hungarian freedom. It’s also the tallest sculpture in Budapest!
