"Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh.

There was a pause.

"Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.

"No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do."

"That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend.

"What are you doing?" asked Pooh.

"Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either.

"But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh."

And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right."

Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you.
Please note, I have been made aware that this is not taken from a Milne story, however the message is more important than who wrote it. 😎

Okay folks, that is summer done and dusted. And now for a glorious autumn, as the colours unfold and make our towns glow. And then before you know it...snow!

I'm dedicating this post to every heart and soul that is struggling at the moment, in some way. It may not be a powerful, palpable struggle, it may be a nagging pain or conflict. Or perhaps it is indeed an overwhelming challenge - driving your heart into fatigue and distraction.

Hold onto hope dear heart, whatever your story is today. We all walk along this path called life, together. As a community. My story goes hand in hand with your story. That's how humans work, best. Together.

Always, better together.
Enjoy this fabulous skiing in Blackheath video. One of my favourite all time videos, from October 12th, 2012. Fingers crossed for some lovely falls this year. I'm moderately confident we will see some some ripper snow events.

We'll go into the details of the latest cold fronts and the latest heart-stories too, via the new project. Lots to talk about. Lots of friendship, too.

Hello Everybody! 👋

Today let's remember that there is a difference between "being kind" and "practicing kindness".

One is a state of being, the other is the practice of the that state of being.

So find 3 people that you can practice kindness with.

It doesn't have to be anything big, just 3 acts of kindness...

Open a door for someone.
Give a deserved compliment.
Help someone carry their groceries.

Any simple act of kindness will do.

Let's spread kindness today.

You got this!

There are no boring people in this world.
Each fate is like the history of a planet.

–
When people die, they do not die alone.
They die along with their first kiss,
first combat
They take away their first day in the snow

-Yevgeny Yevtushenko, “People”

HOLY SHIT Y'ALL!

Scientists have found an obsidian tool making "workshop" which dates to 1.2 MILLION YEARS AGO in Ethiopia.

This pushes this type of tool making back 500,000 years.

WOOOOOOOOOOOW
