Wide open spaces to think

Now that October's Walk4Water challenge is officially finished ( although I've continued walking just because), I can reflect on just how much headspace it gave me. Time to sort out my stuff. Time to recognise the beauty around me and count my lucky stars.

Another special place I like to go to just 'be' is Centennial Park - an oasis near the middle of a bustling city, shopping strip and trendy cafe zone. It's places like these that are so important to maintain balance - of the physical, mental and spiritual. Of built up space versus green space. Of 'musts' and 'shoulds' versus 'don't have tos'.

How many of us Sydney siders have enjoyed leisurely picnics on the grass under the trees or along the banks of the water? How many have visited the Park as a school kid to learn about environmental issues?

Centennial Park needs to be maintained and preserved so future generations can enjoy it too. At the moment, 60% of it's 15,000 trees need replacing. And many animals need sponsoring.

Can you help to ensure this ecological haven?

I'll be taking part in Run4Fun (10km track) this Sunday to raise awareness and money for this worthwhile cause. Please support me in doing this? You can donate via www.everydayhero.com.au/Judith_Cantor_8786.

Thanks very much, and hope to see you at one of those Centennial Park picnics soon!

P.S. I'll be leaving the donation page open for a while since the fun run is so early in the month.
