After some frantic sightseeing in Rome, we retreated to the quiet village of Greve, Chianti in Tuscany to taste the local wines, view the beautiful scenery and to rest before the next league of our travels.
We nevertheless found ourselves in some tight spaces as the picture reflects – I’m pleased to say there were no scratches on the car as we maneuvered the cobblestone streets and narrow alley ways!
I was reminded today, how often we find ourselves feeling that same squeeze in our daily lives … there’s so much pressure on our time and our resources generally. I think there’s a real need to take some time out to reflect and nurture ourselves, just as the grapes are doing here in Italy at present over the winter period.
This is a place that reflects simpler times but still exists and thrives in our modern world. The trick for us is to bring that simplicity into our lives if that’s what we want.
So in this really hectic season, I encourage you to make some time for yourself to reflect on what’s important for you. Enjoy the festivities leading up to Christmas, keep up with that 51-day challenge … & talk to you soon ….Gaylene
