Hi
and welcome to the Under Blue Skies blog.
If you have been following for some time you will know that I try to
publish pieces that I believe will have some relevance to people’s everyday
life
So
continuing in that vein today’s post is slightly more personal although, I
believe, still relevant and in line with my aims. Today I a going to share with you a list of
10 of the things that I am grateful for in my life, together with the reasons
why that is so.
Gratitude
is fundamental to our well being and the practice of gratitutd opens the door
to allow more things to come into our lives.
So
here are some of the things I am grateful for:-
The love of my wife
How
many times do your hear those immortal words “you take me for granted” spoken
by your partner? I used to hear them
regularly, every time we had a row, but then I stopped and considered why she
was saying it- and do you know what? I
realised that yes I did take her for granted.
Once I realised this and put things in place to show her that I did not
then the change in our relationship was amazing. I never take for granted that she loves me
now, I work much harder to prove to her that I am worthy of her love
The Roof Over Our Heads
All
too easily the house in which we live could be lost! Over the years we have been through
repossessions sometimes because of our financial mismanagement and once because
of the horrendous economic circumstances in the UK
The Food On Our Table
Having
seen poverty of varying degrees during my travels around our planet I find it
sickening that in the 21st century people can be starving, when we
live in a land of abundance and where there pervades an attitude of “it doesn’t
matter because we can just go to the supermarket and get some more!”
Good Friends
Those
people that you know you can turn to in times of trouble and hardship. The friends who will stand by you through
everything, the good times and the bad, they are the people who you should
treasure the most and to whom you should give more than you get and never
expect anything from.
My Health
All
too many people abuse their bodies, either with alcohol, drugs overeating and
lack of exercise. They fail to
understand that whatever toxins you put into your body will have an effect on
your health. I appreciate that I am one
of the lucky people who rarely has anything wrong with them and maybe that is
as a result of not drinking or smoking although I am still somewhat over weight
and less fit than I really should be. So this one is a work in progress.
My Daughters, My Spirit
Son and My Grandchildren
I
am full of gratitude that Alison and I have been privileged to have two
wonderful daughters, a son who did not go to term during Alison’s pregnancy and
two fantastic grandchildren…..and John (wherever you are please know that Mum
and I love you as much as we love your sisters)
Life By The Sea
It
is my firm belief that I came to live by the sea in North
Devon because I have work to do here. As many of you will know I follow a pagan
path and because of that living close to the water was and is important to
me. It helps to keep me focused, it is
relaxing (most of the time) and allows me to be close to the planet and her
energies
My Artisitc Skills
I
am grateful for being given musical talents and for the fact that I can express
myself through my music and the poetry and song lyrics that I am inspired to
write. I can often express my inner most
feelings through the words that I write.
As
a photographer I also find that element of creative expression and working on a
photo shoot never seems like work.
Being Someone That
People Can Confide In
It
is a wonderful thing to have someone approach you and open up their inner
feelings to you. It is a great privilege
to be allowed into their deepest centre, to be afforded the role of “Keeper of
Secrets” is a huge honour and one that I will always keep sacred.
And
finally
Being Alive
I
am grateful for every breath that I take.
I (like everyone else on this planet) have no idea how long my allotted
time here on earth is. However it is my
belief that I will continue to work to serve other people (using my talents and
skills) for as long as I can.
