As you went about your day did you notice the colours around you, did you hear any birds sing?
Frangipani in Barbados
In doing both of these exercises I have grown to see my environment in a very different way. We are surrounded by beauty, but very often miss it because we are doing ten things at once. Sometimes the smallest flower coming from a weed can brighten up the dullest day and this beauty is often right in front of our faces.
I recently met a lady walking down my street and said hello to her, it turned out she had lived on my road for the past 7 years, and we were both amazed that we had never seen each other. In speaking to her it transpired that she was also interested in art so we made plans to get together and have a coffee.
This week as you go about your routine, take a moment to notice your surroundings, you might be surprised at what you find in your neighbourhood. I'd love to hear your thoughts and comments are always welcome. Blessings
