Sunrise over the ocean, peace and tranquility and fresh new energy for the day ahead. From our garden at Kiama. Memories of our brief holiday.
“No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude”. Alfred North Whitehead
It never ceases to amaze me how, in one single day you can feel like you’ve been on a giant roller coaster. You have no idea whether you are standing on your head or your rear at any given moment, yet later you know that there is nowhere else and nothing else you would rather be doing.
This, dear hearts is LIFE, in all it’s complexity and simplicity.

From a beautiful calm, peaceful start of the day. Meditation completed and a wonderful glow inside. Cuddles and a snuggle in bed, after all it’s Sunday and we can afford to have a sleep in today. The day is promising to be beautiful, apart from being a wee too hot for my liking – I’m so grateful for air conditioning.

Oops, first call of the day and things are a little wonky on the rails, trying hard to hold on and not scream too much. (Can you guess I’m nervous on a roller coaster!) I don’t know if I’m on my head or the world has suddenly turned on its axis. How strange and suddenly things can change.

OK, my brother appears to have caught a stomach bug, severe enough to take him into hospital. They have everything well in hand and he’s being well looked after. Unless I hear otherwise, all is well with the world again.
Time for a little R & R for us too. Been a really busy week, and we need the time to catch our breath before Monday comes around.

This beautiful story about a man who took his arthritic dog out into the ocean each day to ease its pain and made headlines as well as donations for his care. The dog is now on medication and able to live a decent life again. Its strange and humbling how people will rally around if they know what is happening. So wonderful.
“The truth shall set you free”. If only everyone realised that.

Hope there’s nothing is going round, not feeling brilliant myself. Very low energy and another virulent migraine. It’s tiring having them and becoming even more tiring as they come with so much frequency. Also picking up on a few people not being well and its preying on my mind, so meditation for health and well-being for everyone. Feeling the need to talk to someone but that list is thin on the ground…. sometimes I wish people could read my mind.

Well, my brother is now on a cardiac monitor for the night. Whilst I am VERY grateful that he is being cared for in hospital it would have been nice to find out from my brother(s) and not via social media. It appears I’m in the dog house again – correction, I love dogs. I’m on the outer, outer field! You know – way out of left field. The life of a dog ain’t easy sometimes.

Holding on to my “attitude of gratitude”. No matter what the problem is I know that am doing all I can to help. Praying for everyone’s health and well-being and speedy recoveries, healing of family relationships and healthy communication between people.
Now to “talk” myself into that peace and harmony from my early morning meditation once more. Letting go of the grief from misunderstandings and praying for a better tomorrow.

Thoughts become actions when taken without thinking of the consequences. Words are also actions and can cause the same hurt and are sometimes harder to forget.
For the lessons I am learning I am grateful. For the strength to learn those lessons I am mindful that I have chosen this path. I am learning how to BE present through difficult situations and maintaining my understanding and compassion. I hope I am learning my lesson well. I most certainly don’t want to repeat it.
