Regardless of the seasonality the sea ebbs and flows, and at its edge is the perfect place to wash away the challenges that you may be facing.

In the last fortnight my disability has become more of a hindrance, the metatarsus – like pebbles on a beach tumble and misalign – with age.  I have had unpleasant cauterization in my nose, the aftermath of a ghastly experience, and now I need a filling. In short, a new wave of physical pain, that if I didn’t forget my blessings; could affect my mind and soul.

Perhaps, as a disabled person, I might have an extra dose of willpower. The first thing I still do when I awaken, is to remember how lucky I am that I can walk. This notion underpins my daily mood; however tough things get. It is the main foundational stone – that I polish every day. It is the main thing which is going right for me. To it, and thinking similarly as gathering the ingredients for a healthy meal – I try to add more aspects of my evolving life journey – to it. These soul vitamins, for me include: true friends, who feel more like family, and the closet bond with select members of my blood family. These relationships are not beguiling, nor manipulative; they are the gentle breezy soothing wind, that is a constant, no matter what the weather conditions.

And then I give conscious thanks to my mindset; I bother to regularly appraise and declutter it. Sadly, like many of our coasts, rubbish washes up, and sometimes it will cling – like a limpet. There are days when it feels nearly impossible to bundle- it- up. In such times it is equally healthy to sit in quiet contemplation. Doing so opens up channels to clarity, and problem solving.

It is never a waste of time to soak up and solve issues. In fact, accepting and acknowledging them, is proof that you are consciously delving into them. More people than you may realise, bump along, surface- happy because they opt for the easier route of burying their heads in the sand.

You will always be following the right route- in your personal developmental journey when you are kind and self-honest with number one… regardless of your emotional storms.

 

I hope you find this helpful.

SUNNY wishes,
