Raleigh photographer Ben McKeown has been feeling a little down lately. The journalism industry is bringing him down, and so are his tight finances. Geez, I know exactly where he’s coming from. He wrote a lengthy post that has an inspiring conclusion: Spend more time in nature.

Recently I learned that a friend of mine who also works in the media business (television) had lost her job as a result of company-wide layoffs. Though I’ve gotten used to hearing about broad layoffs like these in this industry, I was frankly surprised to hear that someone like her – young, passionate, dedicated, and immensely talented – had been laid off. I sent her a message in hopes of offering some sympathy and encouragement. In the course of writing my message, I stumbled across something that I realized I should personally be fighting each day to implement:
“I believe that now is a great time to take stock of our blessings, invest heavily in our friends, and get a return on something beautiful like a summer evening or a springtime sunrise.”
