Thought for Sunday: Glorous sound to wake to this morning as I can hear the waves crashing on the shoreline. Constant, determined, intense, beautiful. Listening to the sound of waves is one of the most relaxing things you can do, I’ve heard, but I also find them energising.
As its Mothers Day here in the UK , I started thinking of the feminine line in a families legacy. What our ancestors went through and changed for us as females today.
I can vote, I can get my own mortgage, I can own my own home, I have choice, I can study at college, university, I can travel alone, I can speak my mind, voice my opinions, wear trousers, I can get divorced (and did to be fair) and many more.
So many changes, driven by those who went before and some of these changes happened in my own lifetime. I give thanks to those strong, independent, future seekers who changed the world in such positive ways, that has made my life so much easier to live, and for my daughter to live. The lessons I learned from my mother, some good, many to be shed as not serving me but mainly one of love, have helped me to shape how I want to live my life.
I am lucky enough to be a mum, many folks don’t have that option and I know today can be one of pain.
What legacy do we leave for our children? let it be a positive one. A legacy of strength, peace, compassion and love, a legacy of lessons of how not to do some things so that they learn how not to do something and change it so that the lineage grows in wisdom. A legacy of joy and opportunity and not to be held back by the prejudices and opinions of others.
Show them love. How blessed we are to have been given this gift and how proud I am of my beautiful girl. Forever grateful
