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.

Invigoration

Isn't life interesting?  You just never know what it is going to throw up at you.  It's all part of the journey I reckon.  The challenge is not the difficulties we face, but how we choose to respond to them.
I am now studying and have a new job.  I've ditched the 'career' and profession that I have worked in for over 20 years and am trying something new. Being a Human Resource Manager when you really don't like most people was getting just too difficult.
So now, I'm studying a Bachelor of Equine Science via distance education and am enjoying being a part of a team again - this time as a Medical Receptionist/Administration Officer. 
A new challenge?? Tick!
All that means more time to spend doing the things that please my soul - reading, riding, cooking and being with Paul and the dogs.
Here are Toby and Darcy at Coningham Beach Tasmania enjoying a trot along the sand.
