The radiant warmth of sunlight on chilly days. Stunning, crisp morning skies. Reading in cosy socks under warm blankets while the storm rages outside #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

Varied white clouds against a deep blue sky in the morning in early winter. A late sunrise illuminates frosty trees and roofs.

When the cold, snowy nights blow in, I love to get lost in the landscape canvases I have on my walls - they somehow provide as much warmth and cosiness as any radiator! #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

A landscape canvas in sepia of a dusty country road in summer, lined by wooden fences and long grass. Sunlight shines through tree leaves and hills are visible in the hazy distance.A landscape canvas of a grass dirt path leading to a wooden equestrian fence gate, with summer tree canopy all around. Beyond the gate is a grass mound upon which an old tree is silhouetted in the bright light beyond the trees.

Four cartoon graphs. The first shows a normal distribution curve, and is labelled "normal distribution". The second shows a cartoon ghost and is labelled "paranormal distribution". The third shows a binomial distribution and is labelled "binomial distribution". The fourth shows two garden gnomes under a curve drawn around them and is labelled "bignomeal distribution".

Those hazy Autumn days that invite meandering strolls and fond nostalgia #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

The warm evening glow so valiantly fighting off the inevitable coming of the cold and the dark; a beautiful metaphor #SmallBeautiesHour #BecauseOfClem #ThreadOfGold

The sun setting between two silhouetted trees in at the edge of a grassy field in autumn. Grey clouds obscure part of a pale blue sky. A deep red-orange glow is seen in the centre of the image.

A reminder this #WorldMentalHealthDay that recovery is not linear. Sometimes we fall backwards; at others like the end of the tunnel will never come. Like losing to the train is the only way out. It's not.
Talk about MH. Check on people. Be kind & patient with yourself & others!
