A sunny day changes perspectives in so many ways. Warming rays give us energy, stiff bones becomes loose again. Dark moods melt away and are replaced by optimism and joy.
Our points of view are changed in so many ways. Previously boring, bland buildings, can become shining rays of light. It’s all in the angle, and the opening of the eyes and mind. Raise your head and look, it’s amazing what you can see.

Be quick or it’s gone. Whether it is life or a squirrel, don’t wait too long. Don’t wait, but do.
Everyone knows this, but so few of us listen. I keep telling myself this all the time. But do I listen?
Maybe I will start next week. Exercise, work, that job around the house. Whatever it is that is floating around my mind.
Are you like me? Or do you have the answer, the secret? What is the key?

We all need some personal space sometimes. Somewhere to escape. Whether it be a room in our homes, men love their mancaves. Or somewhere outside, in nature. Be it next to the river with a rod in hand, or up a mountain with the view as your only companion.
If you have a busy family life, it is easy to spend your time wishing for peace and quiet. And if you get a chance to hide, take advantage of it. But not for too long, or you just might miss out on something far more important.

I am in need of a change. Whether it be transformation or just rejuvenation, something. It is too easy to become stuck in a rut. I have begun with my websites, this is the first step. A step towards more creativity in my life. Taking photographs and writing has reopened a way of thinking for me. But I would like it to be a greater part of my life.
But first I need to make other changes, get more energy, be more positive. And focus on what is important. Family first, then the rest. But the rest needs to follow. Too many of us go through the motions and just hope that change will come. I have been lucky in my life that this has sometimes happened, but it can’t be relied upon.
But it is easy to doubt yourself, because change is difficult. So the first change must be in attitude. There is no maybe, only yes I can. I will.

Everything seems so urgent these days. People spend their lives rushing hither and thither, never slowing down. Sometimes we all need to take a breath.
I need that breath now, there are simply too many things on my mind. Unless I clear that list, I will not relax. I can feel the tension in me, just breathe.
So relax, plan and do. There is no urgency, just my mind telling me there is. These are simply tasks, not what is most important.
What is most important has already been achieved, a wonderful weekend with my family. A weekend of playing, celebrating, spending time in nature and watching my kids have fun on the skating rink.
So the highest priority task has been completed, now onto the little things. I feel better already.
