Instead of half listening while thinking about what I need or want to say I would like to be better at listening with my whole conciousness. Leaving time for the person talking to amend, extend, explain, find their own solution. Saying a problem or worry out loud is sometimes all you need to see the way forward. I tend to step in with my own solutions far too quickly. I aim to change.

I sometimes feel that I am rushing through my life half asleep. Being jostled by the day’s pressures and failing to really live and enjoy each day.
I aim to make better choices about how I live and to take time to enjoy all the good things that come my way each day.

Ever since reading the poetry of Robert W. Service when I was 11 I have been captivated by harsh beauty of this land. I love astronomy and have seen the Aurora Borealis in Norway, but still dream of getting to Alaska … one day.
