      Being an adult is… Challenging. What are you worried about currently? If I’m ever going to work again! I think that’s probably one that actors suffer with the most. If someone could reveal your future, would you want to know what would happen to you?

      You know, I just have to say, I love getting older. And I don’t know if this is necessarily because I now have ‘wisdom’ from living so many years on this earth. I think it is actually more because I am finally getting ‘my ducks all in a row.’ I have

      Words from the Heart - Gladys Dinnacombe

      too.

      Appreciation and Thanking

      Recently I had the pleasure of leading a ceremony of thanks for someone's birthday. Carol was 70 and had several children and grandchildren and they had got together to celebrate her birthday. Each one had something to say or write in a special book about Carol. Even the very young children gave her a hug and whispered in her ear how much they loved her and appreciated what she had done for them. It was a wonderful and emotional event.

      I come from a family that did not say words of love or even hug and there were times as my mother got older that I tried to tell her how much I appreciated what she had done for me but she always changed the subject and would not listen. It is so important to tell those we love how much we appreciate their love and all they do for us. As parents we do things for our children because we love doing it and we do not expect thanks but getting those thanks makes us feel loved and cherished. If someone leaves us unexpectedly there is always a regret that we did not say how much we loved them.

      Do you tell your friends and family how much you love them and how much you appreciate all they do for you? If not, then start now before it is too late.

      Everyday Rituals

      I know many people who shudder at the word ‘ritual’. They see it as something bad and horrible. But our daily life is full of rituals. Making a pot of tea is a ritual and pouring it into a cup is even more so. Do you warm the pot first? Do you add milk to your cup before or after? Have a look at the things you do each day and see how many are rituals. You may be surprised.

      But let’s look at some kind of rituals. One I do each morning when I get up is open the door and let the stale air out and new fresh air in. I stand there quietly for a few minutes and breath in the morning air. I look at the sky, the birds flying around and listen to them chirping and singing. It is quiet and I can hear traffic on the bypass. It is a few moments of stillness before I start my day and it is special for me to do this. While I am doing this I am also connecting to the elements around me and becoming a part of them. This morning it was raining gently and I let the rain fall on my face. It is a daily ritual but full of meaning and mindfulness.

      While eating my breakfast I sit facing the window so I can see the sky and the birds on the feeders. As I do this every day then it becomes another ritual. For the druid rituals for celebrating the seasons and festivals I prefer to use the word celebration as that
