Sharing a Beautiful Moment After a Sad Week

A short pondering post this week – it’s been yet another week where we’ve been left shocked and saddened and wondering what the hell is happening in the world.

I’m not going to dwell on it at all here – I’m sure anyone who’s reading this is thinking the same thing as me. All I wanted to share with you this week is the fact that we should be thankful for what we have. Hold your loved ones a little tighter. Take time out to appreciate the beautiful things in life.

This photo of the Brandenburg Gate in Germany lit up with the Union Jack got me ‘right there’ – after the history between our two countries it proves that there IS hope for the future and sometimes the worst rifts can be healed. Though let’s hope that if and when the current rifts heal, we have the opportunity to come together for less tragic reasons.

This evening I drove back from Cornwall after a business meeting and a very wonderful day with regards to a new brand campaign I’m going to be working on soon. I was in a positive mood because of the great day I’d had. The sun was setting as I drove over Bodmin Moor, and it was quite simply one of the most spectacular sunsets I’ve ever seen. It went on for what seemed like ages, getting low in the sky and turning into a big glowing ball of fire that I could see in my mirror, eventually dropping below the horizon and disappearing from view.

It was the sort of moment that if I’d not been on my own and I’d been a passenger in the car, I would have jabbered on about how amazing it was and taken lots of crappy pictures of it with my phone that didn’t do it justice whatsoever (in other words, not simply appreciated it for what it was).

Instead I chose to just enjoy the moment and the awe-inspiring scenery that is Bodmin Moor with the glow of the setting sun across it, log it in my memory bank, and although I’ve told you about it here, it was a gorgeous moment I just shared with myself.

So take time this weekend to appreciate something or someone, and stay safe.
