The possibility to move forward in peace, love and gratitude. It can take a lot of adjusting to life-changing circumstances and a long time of working through the grief of loss but once that is accomplished there is a feeling of peace and joy for what is right now.

I will just be kind and open-hearted towards everyone who crosses my path today, as I am every day unless someone shows me that I need to protect myself from them. If then something arises where I can give more then I will 😊

I have learnt that I need to keep taking a half dose of a particular anti-depressant medication. I have tried to reduce the dose several times over the years and always end up becoming more anxious and depressed despite practising gratefulness, meditation and mindfulness. I have come to accept that I don’t make enough serotonin and I need the medication for my wellbeing and that is not a weakness.

Yes, this website is a wonderful way to start each day and reminds me to ask myself “What blessings do I have in my life?” Even when I am feeling really down and need to honour my sadness or frustration that question helps to keep me grounded and keep things in perspective.

When I rest in the space between thoughts I find peace.

I bring with me the joyfulness of this moment along with a sense of fun and laughter.

I can celebrate having had a good night’s sleep (for once!) and a new day ahead with lovely food to enjoy in a safe and comfortable home.

Dear Mica, thank you so much for posting this video. I am feeling quite lost these days and this has helped me. I am going to do this every morning. 🙏❤️

I’m so sorry that happened to you, Carol. It is a test of our own behaviour when faced with such unpleasantness and you passed the test! He must be a very unhappy person to behave like that. Sending you love 💖

Mica, I had a tomato plant that grew from a seed in the compost bin this year! My gardener potted it up and it has already borne a couple of small tomatoes but due to the drought they had greenback and weren’t any good so I’m glad it was a free plant! I think perhaps your avocado tree needed another near by for pollination?

That’s brilliant, Holly! I grew a ginger plant from a bit of ginger root I had left over from buying some for cooking with. It was fun to watch it grow but it outgrew the pot it was in and wouldn’t have survived in the heavy clay soil in the garden.

Thank you, Diane. It’s so reassuring that you made such a huge move despite chronic fatigue and survived! I will note your advice to keep my heart open. I love the quote from Julian of Norwich 😊

Thank you, Barb, I really appreciate your reply. I have said I will not move before my elderly cat passes away. She is 18 and getting quite frail now. As you have pointed out I do wonder if he’s really thought through what a commitment it would be on both sides. Yes, some serious discussions to be had. I am also trying to trust in the universe that if it’s meant to happen the perfect property will show itself at the right time until then I will stay in my comfort zone!

So good to hear that, Antoinette! What a breakthrough! Now you have the space to work with what you have instead of resisting it 😊

That is brilliant, Holly! Made me feel happy too. Thanks for sharing 😊

Oh no, Antoinette ☹️ I feel your pain and suffering. I, too, am very lucky if I get 2 weeks between the end of one and start of another. Mostly it’s about a week and sometimes only 2 days! Sending you love and hope this one is not severe and will end soon ❤️

Thank you, Ose, your picture made me take a deep breath 😊
