I love this piece of clip art from Northumbria...it speaks of how we are all interconnected and involved in the lives of one another.
I was starting to get cross today as I brought my book downstairs with me and meant to sit and read, but have ended up working, doing house work and cooking...followed by an exciting trip to Tescos (I hate that I shop at Tesco so often!!!) and aslo to pay the car tax... but as I reflect that is OK because through the day I witnessed my life touching others.
I met some children out with their mum, they go to a school where I take assemblies they showed me their Christmas persents, at times like that I'm glad I know what it is like to be a mum...she was exasparated because her son had spent all his Christmas money while her daughter had saved hers. My boys (men now) do that, Jon bought a crazy shirt in London, Em and Jo can save to the point of meaness. And because of that smallthing we connected. I must remember that, that all of those things that frustrate and challenge me enable me to connect with others...so I will try not to pine for an ivory tower.
But now that things are quiet I will grab a glass of wine (we hid some) and my book and find a quiet space...might have to be the car!!!
