More Escapism

Seems like another day for not-the-news.

I saw this early this week on BlueSky from Emma Mitchell, who is a U.K. Sunday Times author who specializes in "how nature and craft improve mental health":

She included this with the photo:

The first posy in a thimble I made, to lift my mood during the pandemic. The flowers are all real.

When humans look at plants (even on a screen as here) we recover from stress 60% more quickly & the relaxation response is triggered in our brains.

Zoom in if you're strung out

I don't know about you, but it made my day better for a while.
