As I wrote the following words for my sister, my cousinsisters and family, I realised that apart from the frequent "thank you's" I instinctively and unselfconsciously breathe in my days to no-one in particular, this is pretty much as close to a verbal prayer as I get. So, at the start of this arbitrary, artificial, abstract construct labelled "2017", I share this prayer with you all:
May we be able to see the beauty in all the storms that come our way; my we remember that queues and delays are opportunities for a deep breath and an unexpected mini-rest; and may we feel our innate joy in our hearts, regardless of what our heads say, and may we always find ways to align our hearts and heads...
I also had to share this video from BBC One of David Attenborough reciting Louis Armstrong's song, What a Wonderful World - Enjoy!
