Lifechanging

A friend described a recent trip abroad as lifechanging. He is an inspiration to me (as are so many people) and I've been thinking about what he said. I love how he is open to being changed by what he experienced, and think we can all do this all the time if we wish. Sometimes we expect the big things to be lifechanging and overlook how the small things impact. Tonight we're finding out what "college" my daughter (and as her sibling, consequently also my son) will be in at High School. This feels significant, but maybe a chance meeting today will actually have more influence. Thinking back on my high school days, the friendships and teachers I was most motivated by were not in my "form" groups.

Everyday, every moment, is life changing (tho often we don't notice). I often encounter new people, new ideas, that change my life. I sometimes try doing something quotidien in a slightly different way, just to feel it a bit more. And of course it doesn't have to be about the “new” - my “old” friends change my life too. I was listening to this Fischy song yesterday (a mere snippet below) and thinking that I'd like to have it played at my birthday party whilst we are eating (and so not singing) as I'm so grateful to those who inspire me to be kinder, braver, and to keep going...



Big big love to you and for all that changes your life today :D
