Go for a mooch, more of a meander than a walk … stop look listen
Climb a tree, the world looks different and troubles seem much further away
Pick something, wash it under the tap and eat it raw – parsley is my favourite!
Make your favourite treat with all the embellishments – mint slice, scones n jam
Or make some bread, all that kneading and working is therapeutic
Give someone a bunch of flowers – a neighbour, a stranger, your grocer
Look at photos of old friends, good holidays – have a moment down memory lane
Plant a tree or a shrub – giving back to the environment is healthy
Listen by being still, call it pray or meditation or just connect with the earth
Eat a chocolate frog and offer one to the next person you meet
Buy a friend a coffee or leave one to be paid forward to someone struggling
Help someone – give a lift, visit when sick, help them move, weed their garden
Adapted from Jackie French in Earth Garden
It is through the simplicity of actions that can make a huge in difference in one life and hence the whole world around us.

I was at a holiday party that had draws for prizes. I put in two… for a few things. Had about a dozen tickets to play with. I won the things I’d picked for two other people 🙂

Not sure when I will get poem-y again. Ha. So much to do in the next few weeks…but often my poems are not written…they just seem to pop out of me…I say I don’t WRITE them, I BIRTH them. 🙂 So, who knows when one will emerge! 🙂
