On winter and working!

At last - today is the official first day of spring in the Southern Hemisphere! Like nature, I am awakening from a long hibernation. Not so much a restful, rejuvenating one, but rather a hectic bit of loosing-my-groove kind of period. This tendency to loose myself in work is a real paradox....I love it, but is will probably kill me if I do not manage it. So this winter was filled with lectures across the country - from Gauteng, Eastern Cape, KZN to the Western Cape...and back again! And a bit of consulting, and lots of coaching. A rush from one appointment to the other - but so many highlights and so many memorable moments :)

I saw an ad this morning for a documentary on the life of one of our famous Rugby legends who has MND. I usually do not take note, as I think the media's portrayal of him is dishonourable - but that's another story. His words made me stop...he said we pay the least attention to the things we have to be the most grateful for: Time, and our health. We know this but I have not been paying attention and as people around me are in the midst of their struggles to come to terms with lack of time and their fragile health I make a Spring day resolution: This present moment is everything, I am making this single second count...

Just this moment.

Sitting here with you in my heart -

doing absolutely nothing,

means absolutely everything to me.
