Nobody's Perfect ...

The trees in the woods accept themselves for what they are.  

We have so much to learn from nature, if we just slowed right down and appreciated our wonderful earth for what it is and what it gives us, and stopped listening to the leaders fighting over pockets of it and ways of life, and instead learnt to live like the trees how much better it would all be.

Can you tell I've been watching far too much news?

Well not anymore.  The six o'clock news can come and go and I won't be there watching it anymore.  I stopped watching the ten o'clock news a long time ago, all that bad stuff so close to bedtime was not a good idea.  In fact since we lost that lovely segment with the late, great Trevor McDonald ... 'And Finally' ... something light hearted or heart-warming to round off the 20 minutes of doom and gloom that he had just had to deliver to our homes, it has never been the same.

So many of us have reached the stage in our lives where we can begin to slow down, to settle into the lives that we want to live and start to enjoy all the sacrifices that we have made over the years to get us to this space. 

 It's a very good feeling.

It's not all perfect, at our ages there are health issues that pop up out of nowhere, things that we still do have to do whether we like it or not, but these days, happily, hopefully, they are few and far between.  But it's so much better than it used to be.

As long as we can avoid the doom and gloom of the news, the negative Nellies that have a problem for every solution, and instead focus on the good things that happen rather than dwelling for far too long on the bad .. not always easiest thing to do I know ... we should just about get through our days relatively sanely.
