Thought for Sunday | A Little Different Perspective 🌻

One of the greatest lessons life teaches us is that not everything deserves a reaction, an explanation or our energy.

Sometimes wisdom is knowing when to speak and when to remain silent.

When to hold on and when to let go.

When to keep trying and when to accept that something has served its purpose.

We spend so much time trying to change situations, convince people and make everything work out as we imagined.

But perhaps peace begins when we understand that we cannot control everything — only how we choose to respond.

A thought to take into the new week:

You don’t have to engage with every battle, answer every opinion or carry every burden.
Sometimes the wisest thing you can do is protect your peace and keep moving forward.

What has life taught you that you wish you’d understood sooner?

Thought for Sunday: This week I took time to watch Canada Geese doing a morning fly by on their way to the days feeding grounds.

It was beautiful, a time out to just sit , be present and let nature sooth.

Give yourself the gift of slowing down for an hour, two hours , more if you can manage this week. Your mind, body and spirit will thank you

Thought for Sunday : As we head towards the Autumn equinox and the days grow in darker hours than light, the leaves have started to turn russet, gold and red, life moves inward, in place and in heart.

Reviewing the year gone, a time of reflection and the potential for growth.

Everyone is carrying pain, challenges, their own burdens . Don’t judge anyone by their cover this week, until we walk a mile in someone’s else’s shoes we cannot begin to understand them. Be curious, not judgemental (Walt Whitman)

Thought for Sunday: September arrived with days of heavy rain and thunder.A fork of lightning even shot down and hit the loch in a dramatic moment.

Change, release, renewal.

As you face the challenges life has thrown to you as learnings, be prepared to look at yourself with honesty and take ownership of actions or see the truth in others actions, you can heal and grow. Forgive yourself, forgive others, move on.

Personal growth means that you won’t put up with how life used to be, you hold yourself in stronger roots. Self respect and belief blossoms.

Do not accept less for yourself this week, you deserve the best, go out boldly, find it, live it.

Thought for Sunday: It’s raining, it’s pouring. Welcome autumn. I know that’s not the case for many friends down south but I hope your rain arrives soon.

I’m very cozy in my newly insulated home. Another blessing as many shore residents succumbed to the flu lurgy after attending the last night of the pub closing last Sunday. A true spreader event as we called them in Covid . This weekend has turned in to a much needed quiet healing time for many and it was lovely to see many kind offers of help and care being offered to everyone. Our community is the best.

The gift of a cold brought with it the gift of downtime. My daughter came over with an indulgent take away which we ate in front of the fire, singing along to The Proms and then watching one of our favourite movies. I was transported to evenings of the past when she (and I) were much younger - it was perfect. I realised how far we have both travelled in this journey of life.

Sometimes the blessings in our lives are the small things, the contented gestures, the time spent with family and friends, kind offers of help, home made soup, a wood burning stove , and a place to lay your head.

Have another blessed week counting those small gestures that make your heart sing,
