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.

Ahhh, the Bliss of Endorphins.

I joined a gym today.
I didn't mean to - I was only going to the hairdresser.
But whilst she had the clippers (yes, clippers!) to my hair, she told me about how much she was enjoying her time at a new gym she was going to.
Well one thing led to another and I joined, got on those scale things that pump out a whole lot of bad numbers - like body fat percentage - had my waist and hips measured (seriously, she read the figures out and I couldn't believe she was talking about me) and then did a quick warm up and circuit to show me the workings etc.
I left there feeling quite happy with myself.
Now all I have to do is stay motivated and see some of those figures go down week by week.
Endorphins are nature's wonder drug.
I'm grateful for them.
