Gratitude

Today I had to go have some minor medical treatment and, as always, this gives me the glums because it's part of the ageing process that stuff stops working properly and I rail against it. But I am also grateful for many things which are coming with age, not least that I now have more time to spend on things which feed my soul and that I seem to notice life's details more and marvel at their simplicity and complexity both.

Being forced to slow down is not necessarily a bad thing.
