I am moving slowly, happy if I achieve one practical thing each day, whether it is decluttering a drawer, dealing with some paperwork, running an errand or whatever. I am also trying to find one moment of blessing each day - something that brings peace or joy. This week I am grateful for
:: A quiet spot to sit
:: Sparkling fresh herring done in oatmeal with new potatoes
:: Some trashy TV
:: The end of term and goodbye to a special teacher with a beautiful card from the children
:: Colourful flags in the harbour
:: Surprise visitor
:: A candid snap of me, by James, which I quite like.
Wishing you moments of blessing in the seven days ahead.
Blessings to you too - the teacher's card is lovely. And a great shot of you. I hope your week is a good one, with joy and sunshine. And that the ankle is recovering xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Angela, it's slowly improving, but I am being sensible xxx
DeleteJames is quite talented, that is an awesome photo. A future career? Maybe :)
ReplyDeleteI hope each day continues to bring you moments of joy Jacqui. Much love. XO
I like your idea of moving slowly, doing one useful task a day and finding a blessing. The blue of your sweater or shawl is heavenly.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you. xxx
ReplyDeleteMakes wonderful sense to move slowly and find a blessing, I try to do that each day too. What a lovely surprise to have visitors, a most welcome distraction.
ReplyDeleteMay you have many small blessings for they days and weeks ahead. Love the photo of the children.
ReplyDeleteLittle things each day are the best way forward and the nicest balm.... take each day as it comes.. and know you are much loved and thought about... Love your photographs.. Lots of Love, Jane xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteSending you a hug dear friend, you are awesome xx
ReplyDeleteyou are thought of-praying that God gives you little hugs
ReplyDeleteOne step at a time, one day at a time, thinking of you and yours x
ReplyDeleteI love your photos and reflection of a week. Eight months after losing my husband and I live each day, slowly, one at a time and it's OK. I share some trashy tv with my girls, we have had a few pink magnum moments spurred on by your photo, and we gathered some friends together to reflect on my husbands lovely life last weekend. With the love and friendship of others it's all OK. Now I am searching for fresh herrings! I am taking my daughters to Mull this summer and maybe I will find some then. Your lovely images of your wedding rings made me think. I had mine made on Mull 24 years ago so I think it will be lovely to take the girls there. Your photos have done much to inspire me in my grief I so hope they help you too. Strength to you. Ali x
ReplyDeleteAli - that is such a lovely post - thank you. yes - its OK, that's what I keep saying too - it will be ok, but it is still hard. I hope you have a lovely time on Mull - we spend a few days there many years ago and it is a stunning place. here's to pink magnums and trash TV xxx
DeleteBeautiful photo of you. I love the way you are approaching life at this time - slowly and with gratitude.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
Lovely photos and keep taking small steps - Take care!!
