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.

A New Year, A New Journey.....and it all starts with being Grateful.

2nd January 2011

It was hot! Well for Tasmania it was....28 degrees Celcius....! The horses, Slate and Georgia were hot as were Sophie and I.
We had intended to ride in the indoor arena out of the sun, but it was being used, so on the spur of the moment I hitched up the float and the horses and drove the 10 minutes to the beach.
Slate became unaware of his 18 years of age and was quite toey.  Georgia on the other hand was calm, as always.  The funniest part of the day was watching Sophie trying to mount her growing horse without the aid of a saddle or a leg up!  We had a lovely time, as did the horses. 
I am grateful for the beautiful day, the ability to ride my own horse on the beach, and in the water and the smile on Sophie's face as she rode her OTTB around bareback on the open beach!
