I thought that when I was older I would become the sort of calm, gentle person I always wanted to be but so far it hasn't happened! Like you I feel a compulsion to clear things out in an attempt to stamp some sort of order in the rest of my life - doesn't really work although it does concentrate the mind a little. I have come to think that maybe the key word is "acceptance" of how we are and how life is and that desperately trying to change things is perhaps not the answer. I like Annonomous's comment about learning to realise what small things bring us pleasure and like the old saying about looking after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves perhaps if we could only concentrate on the small things the bigger picture would look after itself. I love your gentle muted palette of photos and your path photo is so exactly right for this post. Take care which path you set off on though eh?!!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-43250190819331144382012-01-17T07:06:28.771+00:002012-01-17T07:06:28.771+00:00Beautiful photo, I am wanting a little path in my ...Beautiful photo, I am wanting a little path in my veg plot, and this is a perfect look, and I have plenty stones - summer project!

I did a thing in a book, where you list all the things you'd like to do if the doctor told you that you only have six months to live. It's a good reminder of what is really important to you. It made me realize that some seemingly small and trivial things actually bring a lot of pleasure and happiness and sparkle to my life. Things like slowly eating hazelnut Italian gelato! <br />Also, have you checked out this place? Don't be put off by the busy facade, it has a lot to offer in terms of tools and support and teaching you how to be kind to yourself : http://www.divineopenings.com/<br /><br />Thank you for your inspiring blog and happy 2012 to you!<br /><br />BeatriceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-76458413149370549392012-01-17T02:03:22.664+00:002012-01-17T02:03:22.664+00:00Hmmm, Sue, I have found much to consider here.

I love the photo, and admit that I've been doing a lot of visual playing around with grey this past few weeks.<br /><br />As a few minutes of daylight are added on each afternoon (I notice that more than the morning additions) I begin to have a quiet little celebration. This happens to me every year.<br /><br />This year is bound to bring many changed to my life, some of which I've already arranged, some of which will be surprises.<br /><br />Don't know if I would dare to make daily lists, but know that I do try to notice daily joys, even if minute, as they pop up.<br /><br />Still, time continues to pass by so very quickly. <br /><br />xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973188889848358588.post-1989578177219943782012-01-17T00:48:42.595+00:002012-01-17T00:48:42.595+00:00It is like when you want to close down your mind a...It is like when you want to close down your mind and sleep, it doesn't always work.
