Great advice and I totally agree! I must say that it's one thing that I've always been good at though - noticing little things here and there, even in the super urban jungle of Los Angeles. When I go for a walk I stop and check out so much sometimes I wonder if I'm actually getting my steps in, lol!
Going on a walk with my kiddo is even better, because I can point stuff out to her and we can talk about it. "Check it out, a HUGE SPIDER!" or "look at this beautiful little flower! Does it smell?"
I hope she never loses that.
