Walking with my dear friend Sari is always such a soulful experience. We talk about anything and everything on our walks and I always leave feeling grateful and uplifted. Good friends help us return to centre and feel nurtured and loved for who we are.

Honing Gratitude

Don’t wish your earthly days away in what’s not going well

The answer is right now, today, engage with what compels

Whatever challenges we face, can always go within

and focus on our happy place, take heart and re-begin

Don’t waste your precious consciousness

bemoaning what went wrong

Self-judgment or self-righteousness won’t help you get along

Don’t sell your soul, live others goals, resign yourself to duty

Indulge in what makes you feel whole, surround yourself with beauty

We mould our destiny like clay our thoughts create the sculpture

What’s going well for you today? Embrace a glass-full culture
