Off the rails

I've been feeling a little bit derailed of late.

Well, maybe not so much off the rails, but certainly stuck in a siding, uninspired and a bit disillusioned.

But, while out walking this morning I was given a timely reminder about the peace and joy to be found in living mindfully.

I was marching along, head down, thinking about something decidedly negative. I had to look up as I crossed a road, and there was a glorious, full, beautifully bright rainbow, sitting snugly over Ashbrook!

Pow!!!

Now, the downside, of course, was that it meant I was heading into the rain.....but even that didn't dampen my new-found spirit. The rain was soft and light, and it just splashed my face like an extra wee wake-up call.

So, today I am grateful, very grateful, for timely reminders.

It's time to get back on track!!

Gratefully yours.
