I am becoming so much more ME.

I have had a birthday. It was nice not to go gadding about but to have my meal cooked for me, the children to do their homework in a peaceful way (as a special treat!) and to be in my lovely home with everyone around me.
I am becoming so much more me.
This year is going to be good. I shall make time to give gratitude, to really LOOK around me and to listen and really HEAR.
I am reading a book called "Earth Pilgrim" sent to me by a great friend. It's by Satish Kumar. He reminds us that some of us are tourists - taking a journey purely to get somewhere, creating debris along the way, whilst others are PILGRIMS who are taking the journey for the journey's sake.

This is the meaning of life! I realise that all this making and recording and doing that I have felt compelled to do for the last couple of years is part of my being a pilgrim and I am going to continue with whatever mindfulness I can muster.
