There’s a movement in Australia to paint trees blue as a way of starting a conversation around mental health. It’s called The Blue Tree Project and their website has recorded 802 painted blue trees. They pop up when you least expect them and my immediate reaction is to ask the question “Are you OK?” I guess that’s a sign that this project is successful even though I’m only asking the question of myself. In case you’re wondering I answer myself too. 😂😂 And I AM ok!

At the Outback Caravan Park in Tennant Creek these blue trees look like they are being embraced. I thought what a lovely message these trees convey.

I guess initiatives like the Blue Tree Project can be a great way to start a difficult conversation so good on them – and I hope it is successful for those who need it – and helps others start the conversation with loved ones.

I feel very fortunate to have a positive outlook on life.
