"Although I speak from my own experience, I feel that no one has the right to impose his or her beliefs on another person. I will not propose to you that my way is best. The decision is up to you. If you find some point which may be suitable for you, then you can carry out experiments for yourself. If you find that it is off no use, then you can discard it." Dalai Lama...

I focus on what's really important in life!

I have been feeling very edgy lately - don't know why - just unsettled and unhappy...

After a very grumpy day I sat to have a cup of tea with Alan when he got home from work.We talked - not a deep or emotional talk - just day to day things
.I told him how sad I was feeling and he listened without attempting to fix anything for me, he held me close and I felt heard ...

We all went out in the wild and windy night to walk Beauty.We held hands and Milly told us a story the whole way round.

After food was made and eaten I set about cleaning the living room. As I was dusting near the computer I picked one of the Inner peace cards I keep on my desk...



The back of the card reads...

Quality rather than appearance

ethics rather than rules

integrity rather than domination

knowledge rather than achievement

serenity rather than acquisitions....

Good things to focus on I think :-)

What amazing afirmations! These are the things that matter most. How easily I find myself getting distracted and losing focus.
Thank you so much for sharing. I'm going to remember these words :)

Good reminder.

It is easy to get caught up with being busy and thinking we are being productive, when often we can be more effective if we do fewer things, but the more important things.
