Isn't it funny how even good days can have moments that'll have you, at the very least, screaming inside?! Of course these things can't immediately be changed so we need to learn to harness that energy and either channel it elsewhere or convert it in to something healthy.
What an unexpected surprise.
I awoke today expecting another grim, gloomy and overall underwhelming day. I was however more than pleasantly surprised. I opened my eyes to a bright, sunny, glorious day. Feeling the rather intense heat coming through the curtains already I suppressed the urge to immediately open the curtains (that takes another 30 minutes).
After a cup of tea, a glass of water and with only a little bit of hesitation (a damn sight less than most other days) I decided firmly to take a small walk. Of course once I had made sure I was wearing plenty of Midge repellent I ventured out. This initially takes me past beautiful sights like this. After a year I still can't get enough of it. I love the smell of the seaweed on a hot day like today and slow lapping of the ripples in the very still water.
There were many other photos taken but sadly even the better ones are a little too blurry. Those last couple of photos appear to make a smiling face by a happy accident.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
And even these beautiful, massive and fluffy clouds, they too had their silver linings. Even if that silver lining is aluminium, strontium, barium and a huge mix of other toxins that will, without a shadow of a doubt, kill us. But like all silver linings this could also be in and of itself another silver lining. In knowing of and seeing these terrible things that are going on are maybe more and more people waking up to their own health and wellness?
Some say that an awakening at this stage is too little too late. But I have only begun to realise that we can take back our own health and very possibly all aspects of our lives. And that by making any and all positive changes in our lives will help lift our health and well being. These don't have to be changes in how and what you eat or how you choose to fill your time but so long as it's positive change for you it will have lasting effects. And from trying to make some big(ish) changes in my life very recently my hope is if I retain my focus on these that the lasting effects become exponential.
And maybe, just maybe, in doing this we can start the fight at the first place it really needs to start......with ourselves. After all if we aren't strong enough how will we fight anything. So we need to heal ourselves from the sicknesses that are fed in to our minds, bodies and souls.
And now for something completely..............different.
When I arrived home today I found our cats in much a similar fashion to this, although not for long before they jumped down expecting to be fed. Never failing to look exceedingly cute even when they are in the middle of wrestling.
It doesn't ever matter what they've done they almost always bring a smile to my face, no matter what the world brings. They are little maniacs.
Well that's enough from me for the time being.
Stay safe everyone and much love to you all.
