Simply..a frosty walk....

8/1/2025

I've taken my first frosty walk of the year. We have had several sunny seriously cold days with freezing temperatures, but snow onnly on the hills. A barefoot walk on the sparkling grass wakes me up on such a morniing! Then indoors for a good breakfast by the fire.

Question Three from Your Best Year Yet is a good one. What did I learn, from my achievements and disappointments?

I am holding an informal workshop on this book on Saturday here at home. Really looking forward to it.

This wonderful quote comes from a participant at one of Byron Katie's workshops:
'I'm only a failure when I think I know what it is I'm meant to have achieved.'
Offering it here in case it's a useful discussion point tomorrow.

In recent years, I've concocted a cunning plan, to view my 'failures':
If at the end of striving, I haven't achieved my objective, I then, redefine my original objective, so that I have fulfilled it.

Workshop - great idea. Social event in the cold weather mixed with learning.

Just the thought of walking barefoot on that frosty grass makes me shiver . Enjoy your workshop tomorrow, wish I could join you . I think learning from the consequences of our actions is something most of us struggle with. We like to glory in the successes but find it harder to analyse and learn from our disappointments.

I wish you could come!

I would say that I'm the other way round, MaryB:
I spend an inordinate amount of time scrutinising my shortcomings, particularly when others have found me wanting.
So, am gradually learning to recognise when, in my life, I have done things of value for others.

You make such a good point here, Susan. We are often our harshest critics.
