Remember the times when you get up in the morning feeling like you got out on the wrong side of the bed, the wrong side of the room or even the wrong side of the world? You can’t put your finger on it but something just doesn’t feel quite right.
You have the basic things you need in life. You have a roof over your head, food to eat, family and friends who love you. So why the feeling that just can’t be explained or doesn’t make any sense?
Maybe in times like these we need to just shift our focus a bit? Look away from the way we feel and direct our attention to the things around us. Try and look for positive things, things that might lift your spirit. In the beginning it is quite tricky. Tried this one morning. I started out with colours. It wasn’t spring so finding flowers wasn’t all that easy. Did notice that blue is a colour that stands out on advertisements, just in case you wanted to know J. Over time I learned to focus on various things and it actually got easier. Sure some days you might not feel like doing it but it is definitely worth trying. Saying something nice to someone else also makes the world of difference. Seeing how their face lights up.
Last week my boss told me about a few places near Brooklyn where I could look for jacaranda trees with different colour blossoms. Thought they only came in purple! (Goes to show that we are never too old to learn)
This morning before work I drove to the one place but forgot the directions in my boot and couldn’t remember the street name L. I did however come across a
street where the trees overlapped and took a picture with my cellphone. There aren’t any leaves/blossoms yet but it is still beautiful. Nature really brings a smile to your face. There are so many beautiful things surrounding us but we don’t always see them, don’t always look for them.
May you experience inner peace and beauty in your heart today and notice pretty little things around you that bring a smile to your face!!!
