Giving yourself time.


View from the Half Barn door, 8 am, Saturday 4th January

The sky is not quite looking this colour, but it is raining so perhaps this is the faint blue of the sky combined with the colour reflected in the raindrops. A bit like our lives really. Nothing is quite as it seems. There is the true reality, and then there is our personal interpretation of that reality, which then tends to bias that reality, sort of like warping it, possibly encouraging us to have a different reaction to that which is appropriate.

Stop, observe, and understand what is the truth, then react. Others, though, might think you indifferent, but you know that you are not, you are just giving yourself time, that's all.

Bye for now,

Inreresting sky color!
Very few of us have the courage to look reality "into its eyes". Most of us jus'interpret' it.

It is true, Vera. Reflection is almost always better before action. I am trying to be more reflective about how I go about thinking about the next steps, instead of just acting.

Vera said...

DUTA; you are so right!

TOIRDHEALBHEACH BEUCAIL: So often I have rushed into something without thinking about it first, and then live to regret it! Reflection is good, as you say.

Wise words

The weather is weird. Summer was so dry and now we are saturated !! Have a good week. Cheers Diane.

LOCAL ALIEN, thanks, and the sky was indeed a beautiful colour!

DENISE, thanks, the words sort of 'arrived' in my head as per usual!

DIANE, we didn't have a dry summer, ours was full of storms and high humidity, it has only been in the last week or so that we have finally had a reasonably dry spell! Hope you have a good week as well......
