One of the things that helped me a lot when I was working, was that I thoroughly enjoyed seeing where people lived, how they decorated, what their bookshelves looked like and so on. No inside pics today – the weather has been too nice.

I can never work out why the blossom tree is so lopsided. This is a nice quiet corner for having pleasant thoughts and dreams.

The barbie food was delicious. HBTW is a mean cook.

How about this as a view from where you sit and relax…..

It seems that when I stop and take the time, usually last thing at night, special moments come into focus. Yesterday’s were: swifts flying high on the wing – whirling and screaming in a blue blaze of sunshine; the dog enjoying her meal outside while we had a barbecue; constant warmth without the need for central heating; and the taste of that first cup of tea in the morning……

Four blessings – and I know there were many more – but even trying to find a few in each day does something to adjust our mindset onto a more positive frame of reference. It’s too easy to be overwhelmed by all sorts of worries and strains;  thinking about little blessings can become a larger blessing in itself.

Have a hopeful and blessed Pentecost Sunday.

Never mind, the sunshine is supposed to last for a few days. Lots more barbecues I guess. The cat and dog like them too!

Something had happened in Dalamory whilst we were absent: spring had never come and the summer arrived. So we had a barbecue. And very good it was too.
