My bench

Imagine sitting here for a while.

The distant hum of voices and music, a cooling breeze.

Now, how do you feel?

That's how I feel after a visit from Lindsay!

Calm and peaceful.

We always manage to have some deep and meaningful

conversations, which help me to

understand myself better.

I guess, basically, she helps me to get grounded and to be 

more mindful.

It's too easy to gallop, or plod, along and not really

be aware of what's going on at all.

I really needed to stop and take stock, and Lindsay has helped me to see that,

and given me the motivation to do it.

Now that I've lost her, back to Scotland again, I think

I'll print out this photo, and pin it up

to remind me to stop, sit, and

breathe.

I'm very grateful that my wise and wonderful sister

still knows me, better than I know myself, I think!!

If anyone wants to join me on my bench, you are more than welcome!!

Gratefully yours.
