Epiphany

I suppose I had a bit of an Epiphany the other day.

It suddenly occurred to me that:

The old saying goes that you don't know what you've got til it's gone. However sometimes you have to let go of something to realise that this "thing" is now not quite as important to you as you thought it was.

It's nothing bad, but sometimes when you take a step back from something and see it from afar you can change your perspective on a certain issue. Realising that the time and effort you have put into something over time now deserves less of your time is rather refreshing. Sometimes you just need to focus on something else for a while and look back at a situation to see that the thing that has been causing you to be stressed, worried or upset really isn't worth it.

Acceptance that you can change yourself but not other things, people, ideas or system is a real eye-opener.

This week I have been feeling a little reflective. I often do get like this as my birthday approaches. Some people think more about the deeper things in life around New Year but for me it's September.

I don't mean this in a negative way at all but I think I just go into overdrive and my brain runs riot.

This is not about what I have achieved or failed at in the last 12 months or even how my view on life has changed or anything. But just a general look at the bigger picture.

I will never be a religious person but feeling spiritual is another matter. I believe in karma and I do think that if we were all more understanding, less judgemental individuals then the world would be a better place.

Having a happy heart and soul is alot more important than material things.


(Family update coming after the weekend including Liams nursery and what we all thought of the Olympics but I've had this prepared for a few days)
