when negative thoughts crowd in - all the things you're not, all the things you've not got. when life gets busy with no time to rest, when disappointment displaces joy and deadlines numb creativity - life can become a fight. i eat butter rich crumpets while watching squirrels chase each other mission impossible style over tree branches and fences, sunshine breaks through the patchy cloud, saturated ground now glistens in the dancing light, i notice trees swaying in time with the wind and listen to birdsong. i am grateful for a quiet morning to remind me to slow down, to take time, to notice the small things, to take that extra five minutes for myself - the world will still be there waiting whether i rush to it or not. savour life; appreciating the small things makes you richer than you ever imagined.
