Discovering purpose is a key to personal and community health
Examining life; playing with thanks
A tool, this litany of gratitude. Like a key that opens a door or a gate, secures a roller skate, winds up a music box or a clock, starts the car – we don’t need to believe a key works or understand how it works; we just need to use it to bring about a result.
A recent ‘playing’. Driving down Foul Bay Road from Lansdowne to Oak Bay Avenue.
I am graterful for the garage sale signs on telephone poles that I can READ clearly as I drive by, the date and time and address.
I am grateful for the group of wallflowers against a stone wall, their brilliance and their fragrance.
I appreciate being able, on this yet-chilly morning, to have the heater on in the car and the driver’s window open for both incar warmth and outcar fresh air and sounds and scents.
I am grateful for brick houses.
I am grateful for seeing, in a driveway, a small, round cat sitting on the roof of a van and bending down to watch as a person loads or unloads something into the vehicle.
I am grateful for the construction at the intersection of Foul Bay and Oak Bay which has traffic in a stop and go pattern with human directives; for the chance to sit and watch a backhoe revealing what is under the road and the bucket lifting and dumping the contents into a truck; for the thought that if the grandkids were in the car they would share my interest.
I am glad to watch and respond to the flagman’s (actually a flagwoman’s) gestures; graceful and no-nonsense; are they taught how to do these signals or learn them by rote or are they purely instinctive, I wonder, as I am arm-swooshed through the intersection, and drive, gratefully, on.
Lots of benefits from being in conversation with colleagues. They often have solutions, and insights that we need right now. Our stress and workload decrease, and quality of learning opportunities improve.
