The Fog Soup
Spring is finally poking its head out! Long cold winters, we get here in Switzerland, can be quite depressing, unless you
live in the Alps above the clouds and the fog, where it’s mostly sunny! That’s why the old Swiss farmers look so tanned and happy, unlike the pale and stressed out city dwellers. The farmers have a name for the cold, bleak foggy weather – the ‘fog soup’!
Today however, is a fantastic day, with blue sky and bright sunshine – no ‘fog soup’ in sight! So I went for a run along the river, without the puppy – he’s too small to be taken on the long runs.
On my run I discovered a new forest area I haven’t noticed before, and then when I explored it I realized that it connected to the path I usually run along. It’s amazing how often hidden treasures are right in front of us, but we only tend to notice them when we are ready to appreciate them.
Go on a small discovery today, take a different route home, or go for a run/bike ride/walk in an area you haven’t explored yet. You might be surprised what you find there. Wake up the childlike curiosity for life and be in awe again!
