William Morris

We were talking about what's important in life. It was sparked by Nat's blog saying that the best things in life really were free and I think they are too. William Morris said that we need something for our head and something for our heart, something to keep our mind ticking over and something we can create, stand back and admire. The sense of achievement I get from making something, even with my bodger attitude towards creating things is enormous in comparison to the momentary satisfaction from buying something.

It's been a strange couple of weeks - few ups and a few downs. I'm aiming for the 2nd week in December in the hope that life will be less of a rush by then.

hi m

gr8 stuff!

Think your right its good to take a second to stand back and assess!

'can't c the woods for the trees' type a thing.

I met someone the othe day who passed on some advice they had been told. About the fact that generally people (myself included) are always moving on to the next thing and what they're doing in a min, or tomorrow, without spending the time to live in the moment and enjoy it!

Thinking about it you could say the things in life that happen all the time are often the things that are never considered or thought of as if they never happened.

Funnily enough these times and connexions are often the most precious & valuable things in life! Worth taking stock of i think!
