Sometimes it’s important just to be
Several of my counselling clients want to be mindful of things other than stressors
One cried when I asked them when did you last have any fun?
I got home this afternoon to find out my sister had tidied the garden.
It looked lovely
The mock orange I bought in memory of Finlay is flowering strongly near his grave, and I lay on the grass to cloud watch, even though there wasn’t a much of a cloud in the sky.
Not many people outside Cwm Road, are used to 63 year old man lying supine in this front garden and two concerned amblers stopped briefly to ask if I was alright.
I’m enjoying the view I told them and they walked on amused at this tubby old bloke enjoying his garden
Early morning sky, midday sky, evening sky - all beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the kindly concerned amblers will try some cloud watching of their own!

I took our two aged donkeys up to the middle pasture this morning, the intention was to put them in the next field, the top pasture, but seeing a buzzard sat quietly on the gatepost I didn't go further, happy to let him sit there surveying his kingdom. I sat on the grass for a while, watching him and listening to the donkeys munching grass, just a few moments but enough to feel that all was as it should be. Nature is so grounding. Arrived back in the farmyard to be told a hawk had just taken a blue tit from the fence, sad but that's nature.
ReplyDeleteSmall events in a day but it makes you realise how small we are on our beautiful planet, how fleeting life can be but how thnkful we should be to be here.
Blue skies are fleeting gifts to be treasured 😉
ReplyDeleteWhat bliss and bless Janet's garden-loving heart! She'll be pleased to know you had a lie down in the grass for sky watching (as you do if there are no clouds!).
ReplyDeleteHugs!
Your garden and its extended view is looking good. Well done, Janet.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this life, if, full of care, we have no time to stand (or lie on the grass in your case) and stare? xx
I wish FUN to everyone who hasn't had any of it for a long time. FUN, FUN, FUN, FUN!
