Photo was taken yesterday morning at 7.30a.m at Seafeen, between Millstreet and Rylane, Co.Cork (Irl)

The valley was quite dark as dawn approached but overhead was the promise of a lovely sunny autumn day.

Thought on Tuesday – September – 27/09/2011

‘Experience is choice. We can choose to shop less, we can choose our words, choose to listen more, we can decide to become more patient. In the tiny threads that make up the fabric of this day, there is a choice behind every action and every word and a freedom behind every action and every thought.’~Michael Meegan

We are faced with endless choices every day. Many of them are routine and straight forward but still important. Beyond the basic choices like eating, hygiene and sleep there are many more that can make all the difference between a stressed out life style and one that is balanced and more relaxed. If we are honest some of the choices we make are random and have little depth or roots. A little bit more thought into what we choose can make a difference. Any choice that is built on or around love will always be a winner and one that will always put us in a good place. Any choice that allows us to become a better person is a good one. Any choice that allows us to do our best and make the most of the present moment is precious. Any choice that is built on Gospel values will always bring balance. Our prayer today is for the strength to make some good choices and ones that we know have value and depth.
