]]> Having lost someone we know how much pain there is in the world and how awful life events can be..but if we look hard there are beautiful things that make life so special

  1. The smile of a baby
  2. The laughter of friends and family
  3. The feel of an early morning hot shower
  4. The look in the eyes of a young couple in love for the first time  rosesfromtop.jpg
  5. The sound of a river
  6. The smell of an Autumn day
  7. The serene sight of a child sleeping
  8. The dawn of a new day
  9.  The smell of fresh flowers
  10. The memories when you look at those old photo’s

Death may bring some dark moments, but life continues and if we look around at the world there are plenty of things to bring a smile to our face again

]]> When I was out walking late yesterday, I looked at the trees and saw the leaves turning brown, starting to fall, flowers beginning to wane. Then I saw the winter shrubbery starting to come out with some of the strongest colours you could possibly imagine.

All of this reminded me that life is eternal, as the time comes for the leaves to fall others take on that life. Much like humans. We may have to “shed” some of our closest friends and lovers, but life is eternal and life remains rich with beauty if we just look with an open heart. They may not be the person we loved, but they can bring a different colour to our lives.

Maybe we humans have something to learn from nature- that times change and in order to enjoy the futurehandingrass.jpg we need to not hold on to the past but revel in its memory. I will not forget the leaves of the summer, I will not forget the smile on his face…..but I learn to love the reds of the winter, and take comfort in the smiles of others.
