Days of Gratitude – Week 3

It has been a very interesting week, with some things coming to an end and some surprising opportunities. Martha Beck said “When you meet people, show real appreciation, then genuine curiosity“. What do you think?

Days of Gratitude – Week 2

Our project is gathering momentum, and last week I wanted to thank a number of people I have been working with and/or listening carefully to over the last little while. This resulted in a number of phone calls back to me during the course of the week. Receiving honest advice and constructive advice from people you trust is one of the joys of life. Thanks girls and guys :).

Days of Gratitude – Week 1

So what did I tweet last week and why?

 

And how nice to get a reply 🙂

There are people who support us, no matter what happens. I think it is incredibly important to be appreciative of this. Only 5 days since this started – the next post will be 7 days worth of tweets – let’s see what happens.

What do you think?

Days of Gratitude

If you have read 365 Thank You’s by John Kralik you will remember that the author was at a low ebb and had an epithany, to be grateful for what he had rather than bemoan what he did not/no longer had. It was, in a way a celebration of many small victories on the road to recovery of his life and himself.

So here is the beginning of the change I spoke about in my last post:

I can’t promise but I can certainly try. Every day I will try to tweet gratitude. It may not happen every single day but I will, on a weekly basis try and blog the gratitude tweets for that week. If this works it may become something much more.

Who knows where this will take us, but please follow the journey and encourage me on the way.

The tweets will start DoG (Days of Gratitude) and will end with the hashtag #daysofgratitude

Time for change

“One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it’s worth watching”

I always know when it is coming, but usually have not known why – of course logic and reason can be applied, but it’s the feelings that count, that make it inevitable. And those feelings are semi-conscious feelings, a moment of wistfulness, a hypnagogic interlude, the whisper of a song, a long forgotten smell.

It starts with broken sleep, not bad sleep but broken, lately waking up at stupid o’clock, dozing on the sofa in the evening, getting woken by Mr Cairn at 1am when he has caught wind of a potent smell drifting in from the garden. Then coincidental hearing of music from other times of change – this morning flicking channels a film had Blue Moon (revisited) by the Cowboy Junkies playing in the background. Then a smell – summer rain and dust mixing. Then a desire to travel again, to be on the road in America or back in Moscow.

This is a pattern I know, and may be illogical or may be coincidence, but really it is neither. It is a shift in me that will lead to change. I tell clients that nothing remains the same, it either progresses or deteriorates. At pivotal points restlessness sets in and the outcome is inevitable. Am I going to leave home – of course not, or pack it all in and knit yoghurts for a living, of course not.

Watch this space.

Chickens coming home to roost

Sometimes people are just a bit silly. If you are within a small-ish community (South Wales Social Media) and choose to impersonate someone else, behave badly and generally be an enormous pain in the butt then the chickens will surely come home to roost. I have met Elio Assuncao briefly, but wouldn’t claim to know him. I do know @allanbbeaton well and he is a trusted friend. Who would you do business with, the owner of his own name with a great reputation, or the apparent cyber-stalker? A community will always cleanse itself & this has been going on too long.
