The Challenge is to Change the Focus

I've done quite a bit of reading over the years, and listening too, to people who seem to have had a bit of a handle on life. They may not have the 'answers', but they do have some wise words and have imparted to many, a profound kind of thinking about how we look at our lives - not just the years lived, or the months, or days, but each minute.
I was moved in recent days by reading about 'gratitude' and the practice of it. The benefits seem to be very real.
So, as part of being reflective and taking an active role in where our journey is taking us, I've started this project.
My aim is to regularly take a photo of something for which I am grateful, and reflect on that. They may be small gratitudes, or bigger picture ones.
I'd love to see your stories too! Feel free to comment and share your contributions.

Taking a 'Nana Nap' with Friends!

So, it's a rainy, windy, cool afternoon in Margate.  House is quiet. What's a middle aged woman supposed to do??
I'm sound asleep in this photo - I cropped my face out....the tummy is enough, but I can do without the visual reminder of the double chin! 
That's Daisy, the Tonkinese cat, and Toby the 37 kilo Chocolate Labrador.  Notice, my Ugg boots match the colour of the dog?? There is method in that madness.
From the time I was so very little I have taken great comfort in the warmth and company of my various pets over the years.  They don't question you, they don't care what you look like, they love you because you love them - they know and trust me.  As you can see, they do take advantage, just a little.
I am grateful everyday for the comfort, love and warmth of the animals in my life.  They help me make sense of the world.
