A Spring in My Step!

Both the images I have up loaded today were taken at Portwrinkle in Cornwall. It was around 4pm, the sun was going down and beams of light shone through the clouds creating what I felt was a spiritual light. It was truly beautiful.

I am feeling so much better....yesterday I started to spring clean my home...there's still much to do but already the choas is diminishing. A bonus too.....! I love my shoes and I found some I had forgotten I had...great!

I have recently put on a little weight and have to admit that some of my clothes are getting a teeny bit tight! But having reached the grand old age of fifty I feel that I no longer want to worry about it. My weight has its ups and downs, I've never been a big lady, but size 14 seems the norm for me these days. So today I thought ok my jeans dont fit so well, so I'm going to dress in a more comfortable style and be more creative and artisitc in my attire!!! I like vintage clothing and there is a stall in the market where they ocassionally have some great outfits...so I'll keep my eyes peeled. I had an email from a vintage site the other day...must have a proper look see what they have.

Its Easter Monday......when I wrote the other day I did'nt yet know what changes this Easter would bring....but there are changes in my life all the time......one of the main things I have noticed recently is that I am being called to be more assertive. In the past I have had a tendancy to let others' take advantage of the fact that I am quite a placid and easy going kind of gal! But there have been times when resentment has arisen in my mind and thats not good. I know now that it is much better to voice what I feel and to be honest about the things that I like, dont like, want, dont want and how I wish to be treated myself. So a new step for me......confidence in my own beliefs about what I want my life to be.....confidence in the faith that I have in God and the Trust I have in Him that 'He will make my paths straight'.....He certainly has never once let me down even though I have had periods in my life when I have doubted and questioned and turned away. But He stubbornly remains true to me....I have made a promise that I will follow His Guidance and Trust that He only ever wants the best for me.

A couple of years ago I read this quote by Helen Keller and it has become my philosophy in life.....
 "do what you can, with what you have, where you are"
