fresh air

We had an absolutely gorgeous day today. I was able to sit outside and enjoy the blue sky and fresh air. 

Why is this beautiful?
We take fresh air for granted but when we don't have it, we notice. Last weekend, the air was so full of smoke from the wildfires burning in Northern Alberta you could not sit outside. It was really bad and I can't imagine what it was like in the communities closer to the fires. 

I was so grateful to be able to be outside and breathe in the fresh air today.
