UK Living

Hi, its been a while and although I haven't been here, I have been Twittering.

For those of you still not aware of the link yet I have 3 of the latest ones down the right side and a link to follow me there.

My recent return to the UK was interesting, every time on returning to Thailand there are many things I overlooked on previous visits, then coming back to the UK I am more pleasantly suprised to find some of the wonderful things overlooked while here.

Even when we are trying to be mindful it can be hard to appreciate all the good things going on around us.  They are there though, the grass can always be greener on this side if you look at it carefully.  Generalising things too much as saying one thing is 'good' and another might be 'bad' can effect how we think, but also influence those around us.  For a change try to spend one day smiling and only saying nice comments to people regardless of their response. (You can go back to normal the next day don't worry.) Later, as you become more comfortable with this you could try merely being present in a joyful way without making comment on things.  As the chatter calms you may notice the real beauty life has on offer.
