A-may-zing Times...
Happy May Day! Have you ever found yourself rushing around going here, there, and everywhere doing this and doing that but not really achieving anything at all? I have heard people say 'I've only got 5 minutes to do this...' or 'I don't even get 5 minutes to myself...' Well maybe this is the time to take 5 and STOP! No matter where you are or what you are doing the feeling of seizing the moment and allowing the world to breeze around you whilst you stand perfectly still, is quite empowering. In the passage of time, we can have significance if we take just a little time to absorb what is actually going on around us; the perfume of spring flowers, the calling of songbirds and croaking of little frogs. I love to watch and listen to people talking at each other and not to each other and so misunderstanding the value of simply being! Time may be an illusion but to us is very real. I say, embrace time and spend time having fun, enjoying the moment, right here, right now, even if just for 5 minutes a day.
I do hope that you will spend a little of your own precious time to enjoy the new features and articles in this month's Newsletter...
