Feeling gratitude for things we have in our lives can give us a different perspective. We may find we have abundance instead of lack.

A lovely piece from John O'Donohue. Wishing everyone a healthy and happy new year ❤️

AT THE END OF THE YEAR

As this year draws to its end,
We give thanks for the gifts it brought
And how they became inlaid within
Where neither time nor tide can touch them...

Days when beloved faces shone brighter
With light from beyond themselves;
And from the granite of some secret sorrow
A stream of buried tears loosened.

We bless this year for all we learned,
For all we loved and lost
And for the quiet way it brought us
Nearer to our invisible destination.

JOHN O'DONOHUE

Healing is different for everyone, as we are each unique souls, with our own individual journeys.

Sometimes being here and now, with whatever is happening is where you need to be. It's easy to fall back into our stories, but they are part of our past that has made us who we are. By being in the moment we can engage with ourselves fully, even if it sometimes feels messy. Everything changes, and the next moment may feel clearer, giving us more perspective.

I seem to have been very busy lately, slowing down and reviewing things is probably what is needed. Sometimes we need to give ourselves time to process things.

It's been lovely these last few sunny days having quiet time first thing in the morning outside. It sets the tone for the day. Nature is a restorative for me. It has always been.

Even on the hardest of days
There's a place where you can find
Softness in the grass and breeze
You can leave all stress behind.

You'll find warmth in the sun's kiss
Healing cleansing from the rain
Here in nature's sweet embrace
Life begins again.

There are so many treasures
The earth holds for it's kin
Each element has the gift
To heal you from within .

So when you're feeling overwhelmed
With the grind of noise and rush
Return to being grounded
By the tranquility and hush ..

Breaking patterns help us to heal, especially when the patterns hold us back.
