With gratitude
A gratitude journal is just a simple way of recording and appreciating the good things in life.
Research shows that keeping a gratitude journal leads to higher levels of alertness, happiness and positive emotions,
as well as a stronger immune system, lower blood pressure and better sleep.

Committing to Lourdes

Augusta, RIP
Gussie died peacefully this afternoon. She was a big part of our family, and I am so grateful for her constant company over the years, and the support and comfort of vets and friends.
Kingfisher
Such a privilege and so grateful to see a kingfisher this afternoon, only the third time in my life.
Nine dots out of the box
Solve this puzzle and discover something fundamental about boundaries, which you will understand when you work it out.
Wonderful weather
Grateful for this morning's wonderful and ideal running weather: cool, a little drizzle, no ice and, most importantly, no wind.
Friendships rediscovered
It has been a surprise and a joy to reconnect with long lost friends - twice - in the last few days.
Breaking bread
The wreckage of the table after the last guest has left. Reinforcing friendships and sharing views is so much more important than simply breaking bread together.
Wicked World Syndrome
The 'wicked world syndrome' is where we see so much suffering and evil around us that we begin to believe, wrongly, that happiness is not possible.
