As we shift from one decade to another I’d like to share with you what I’m really grateful for. Please do share your thoughts, resolutions, gratitudes, intentions …
I am really grateful for:
- My son Alex, who’s grown from a toddling 2 year old to the threshold of teenagerdom and brought us such joy, fun, enrichment and learning…
- My Mum, who died 7 years ago and whose wisdom, beauty and grace is with me every day. I thought I had lost her when she died but have learnt that she is all here all the time …
- The rest of my family for ‘being there’, keeping me sane and sharing the good and bad times, even when we drive each other crazy 🙂
- Dear friends who share the journey, allow me to fail, be ‘out of order’ and forgive me every time … and for those friends who I have lost touch with but who are still in my heart ….
- All the very special clients, colleagues and people I have worked with – thank you for sharing your lives, loves, aspirations, hopes, problems and dreams – such a privilege …
- Living and working in such a beautiful part of the world
- Good health and that of those around me
- The luxury of being able to look forward to the coming decade from the warmth and safety (hopefully!) of my own home
- For learning the difference between desiring what I don’t have, and being content with all that I am blessed with …
My INTENTION for the coming decade is to live as much as possible in the PRESENT, to appreciate all that is good around me, to share what I can with others and be open and positive to whatever DESTINY may have in mind in 2010 and beyond …
I wish you all that you wish for yourself in the coming year, with an extra dash of magical quirkiness 🙂
I share your optimism. No more hospitals, all children in work, no debt no mortgage. Being able to travel, to Paris, Kendal Record Office, Broughton Mills [family] and if things go well financially off to Australia for a month. The is something to look forward to. Warm weather, not so much rain. Libraries. Small wishes?
Wonderful Jane 🙂 You seem to have got the magic formula for contentment. (My fav Cumbria pub is at Broughton Mills – Blacksmiths Arms). Have a quikry fun time in Oz …
Zoe – great reflections for the new year. I’m not a fan either of resolutions and you have captured the important things perfectly. All good things for 2010!
Thanks Dorothy – somehow the past year or so has put things into perspective … every cloud does have a silver lining if we look for it. Wishing you all the very very best for 2010 x
Zoe, beautifully said, love your intentions. And good luck with your teenagerdom:-) Breathe, smile and be happy.
Many thanks Irina. I wanted to start off in gratitude and abundance. May your year be full of joy, health & wonderful moments 🙂 Z
