Today's background tv is a little higher up the food chain than my usual late night drivel though conveniently parcelled into bite-sized portions spanning the immense career of the delightful David Attenborough. Gorgeous cross-section of insights and moments in the natural world - it's amazing to see someone who has experienced so much of our world yet retains his sense of awe and wonder at the mysteries and terrible beauty of nature.
I've not been on any real visits to new and exciting places in so long I have begun to forget how it feels to see a new horizon, to take the first step on a new continent or hear a new language all around. A visit to the wilds of Ghana a few years back re-opened my eyes to the joy of travel and I wonder why I can't recapture that again. Settled, home-owning, family planning, career-progression in place. Good enough reasons? I'm not entirely convinced.
So today's resolution is to learn to take delight in the world around me again.
IT'S INTELLIGENT, BUT IT'S NOT HUMANITY - DAVID ATTENBOROUGH, YOUR FAVOURITE ATTENBOROUGH MOMENT
