FLYING
Tuesday, 12. May 2009, 01:39:09
Sitting at my computer, looking out at the hills, watching the birds fly...
Thinking about how do we get to fly?? Wouldn't it be great to grow wings and take off to where ever we wished to go..??
Total freedom, what a concept...and you know what, we are free. Free to choose.Choose how we want to live our lifes. It takes only a few moments to be still, listen to your breathing, close your eyes and feel your body and think of ...NOTHING. Clear your mind, imagine flying off into far away lands, dream, imagine.
We can choose to look for things to be grateful for, in this moment. The fact that we are breathing, some people have to have tubes to breathe. The fact that we can sit in front of our computers and be in touch with the world, some people are blind. The fact that we can get up in the morning and choose coffee or tea, some people get up and wonder whether they will be able to step outside and not get shot.
Like the couple in Napier, where a crazed gunman threatened to blow himself up. They lived a few houses down from him and were unable to leave home for days as the police had the street cordoned off. They are in their nineties, he is bed ridden and on oxygen. A question was asked as about how they were coping,the wife commented 'we want for nothing' and hubby from the bedroom affirmed '..too right..'.In the midst of all that and they are free.
It's the appreciation of the little things we seem to take for granted, that can turn your mindset from turtle to eagle...enable you to fly...
As the saying goes : ' Your attitude determines your altitude '
Wonder if you can think of 5 things to be grateful for right now....??
....S.....
