Back in December I signed up for the River of Stones Mindful Writing Challenge – January 2012. The idea is to
notice something properly every day and to write it down. These then become your
‘stones’.
I started on New Year’s Day and I’ve written a small ‘stone’
most days. I would like to share some of them with you today, and to invite you
to think about the beautiful, little things in your life that you sometimes miss
from being too busy and rushing around. It has helped me to pause, reflect and
see there is so much beauty around us. We only need to look to see it.

Not just a new day
A new year has begun
Grey skies, wind blowing
Yet quiet optimism is felt

Hello blue sky
How I have missed you
And grateful for your beauty
today

Soft, white sheets cover me
Like a protective blanket
Cool to touch, all snuggled up
I can’t wait to fall asleep

The movement of my body
Into the Warrior pose
Feeling strong and spirited
Let’s take on the world

Kind words
Fed back to me
By a kind person

Breaking a pattern
The universe helps
Oh how I am thankful
And love the magic of it

Cheering up a friend
Sharing what I know
Wishing her the best
She has the strength inside

Water
Pure, cool and fresh
Hydrating the cells
Rejuvenating the body
