Individuals who recalled more childhood blue space experiences tended to place greater intrinsic value on natural settings, visiting them as adults – which increases better mental wellbeing by Wagamaga

I’m pretty sure I was this girl 25 years ago when my dad took me camping, hiking and fishing… but as an adult I found my happy place was out in the woods alone. It’s a time to clear my head, recenter myself and remember all the good in life when I’m feeling down or overwhelmed. Ive been so thankful he gave me that gift. He just passed unexpectedly in July and hiking is the only thing that makes me feel close to him and helps get me out of a funk. Great gift he gave me then and you’re giving to your daughter now.
