Last week was a week of laughter, fellowship, celebration for a friends wedding-come-birthday, re-meeting a smiley old friend and some new contacts. Sometimes appreciation is about the simple things rather than for an individual act. Have a great week. Laters…..

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 :).

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?

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.

“May the bridges I burn light the way.”
