♥ DAILY LOVE TIP – Sunday January 1, 2012

 Greetings FOLKS,

2012 is here and here we are in this moment in time – NOW!

For this new month of January I have decided I will post on random days – see it as me surprising you!……….♥°*”˜ ♥♥♥˜”*°•.•.¸♥….

One of my favourite quotes to begin the year is one from Sarah Ban Breathnach’s book – SIMPLE ABUNDANCE – A DAYBOOK of COMFORT and JOY.  I have indulged myself with this quote for many years:

…….time is the New Year’s bountiful blessing: three hundred sixty five bright mornings and starlit evenings; fifty two promising weeks; twelve transformative months of beautiful possibilities; and four splendid seasons. A simple abundant year to be savoured.”

Simple Abundance is also on my favourite books list by the way……! Yours too♥

I shared the Gratitude video on the blog  DAILY LOVE TIP – Saturday December 17, 2011 – “A Good Day”….begin by opening your eyes and be surprised…. ….Today I am going to share this video again as a friend posted a different link on his Facebook wall – thanks Joshua – which shows the film maker Louie Schwartzberg [who is an award-winning cinematographer, director, and producer whose notable career spans more than three decades providing breathtaking imagery for feature films, television shows, documentaries and commercials] as he introduces the video as part of a TEDxSF presentation. His time lapse photography which features in the video is STUNNING…..

I so enjoyed the addition of the introduction given by Schwartzberg I thought it merited sharing. In fact, I have decided to nurture myself and watch this video every day for January…….at least!!………and I invite you to do it with me……
By the way it does amaze and astound me that no-one has commented on the blog about the ‘Good Day’ post at all!! I do start wondering whether anyone is out there at times♥♥♥………mmmmmmmmmmmm♥°*”˜ ♥♥♥˜”*°•.•.¸♥….hello….helloooooooooo♥♥ :O)

The whole thing  is STUNNING and heart opening!…..’and a Feast for the eyes and the Soul’ as Joshua put it………….♥°*”˜ ♥♥♥˜”*°•.•.¸♥

“I am in love with Mother Earth” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

We have so many reasons to be happy.
The Earth is filled with love for us, and patience.
Walking mindfully, we are nourished by the trees, the bushes, the flowers, and the sunshine.
We rely on the Earth, and the Earth relies on us.
Whether the Earth is beautiful, fresh, and green, or arid and parched, depends on our way of walking.
Please walk gently on the Earth. ~ Thich Nhat Hanh

Treading gently and purposefully and with gratefulness……and waiting & hungering for some connection….. Have a splendid year……….. LOVE AND BLESSINGS, SUSIE.
