I've
recently signed up to get notifications from upworthy, which shares
some inspirational stuff. Yesterday I watched a short clip (link below) on living
our lives and I liked the point that life is about the people we meet
and what we create with them. I can't always be with the people I
love (no building large enough, for starters!) as they have to go to
school, or work, or live in far away places and have other lovely
people they also want to be with. But that doesn't mean I stop
creating joy, love, hope, and fun with them, if only in the depths of
my heart.
In
many ways I feel I do grab my life with both hands and live it out.
But I'm aware I still spend a vast proportion of it doing what I
should, what others want and expect, what I feel really ought to be
done. There's no getting away from the boring tasks that have to be
done today, but I shall try to do each of them with my full attention
and look for the joy. As a first step, I've put on one of my long
flowing skirts. I love wearing them but most days am either in
uniform, or think that jeans are so much more practical for walking
the dog. And I'm probably in a minority of people who are pleased
it's not so sunny today, as it means I can wear my hug replacement
therapy that is a snuggly scarf. I'm feeling pretty vulnerable right
now and so am actively seeking out ways I can be gentle/kind to
myself. Soft clothes are doing it for me – hope you find
whatever you need to live your life to the full today :D
soft (with crusty crust) v fresh bread, with soft butter. I'd forgotten how much I like these. soft is good!!!!
