Success

My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and talents.  ~ Mahatma Gandhi

We need to connect with one another, with nature, with ourselves.

 Good mawning.



I woke up this morning...haunted.
Haunted by the stats of unfulfillment, depression, sadness, and loneliness. Over 50% reported these experiences...
And after yesterday's "challenges" of dealing with folks that are maybe used to forcing their own outcome, I longed to get out in nature with some of my favourite humans and walk.
We used to call it "adventuring" and this time was no different 😃 We felt the sun on our faces and the chill in the breeze. We quickened our pace and chose unpopular paths. We saw sleeping bees and slithering snakes. And we smiled and met neighbours and other "adventurers" along the way.
We need to connect. With one another, with nature, with wonder, and most importantly, ourselves.
But how? With the haunting and pressure from our "to-do" lists and expectations of how we've been taught things "should" be. We don't allow time for processing joy, wonder, how we feel.
I do believe some of the structure in our society creates this...and the things that would fill those empty spaces will flow like water into any space we are in if we allow it.
Anyways...we may just "adventure" again today.
