The Thing With Feathers on Instagram
Daily gifts to be grateful for are: “The smell of coffee brewing, they are a warm smile from a stranger on your commute, they are the sound of a dear friend belly-laughing, they are the taste of melting cheese on your tongue. The book is about practicing gratitude, making a discipline of it. The book is also about joy, a word not used enough and a concept not experienced enough in our modern world.” (For full blog see link in bio). Incidentally, I hate the taste of #coffee but am so #grateful for how delicious it smells! Anyone else? #1000gifts #ethiopiancoffee #coffeelover #begrateful #gratitude #gratitudeattitude #practicegratitude #wednesdaywisdom
“Sat on the tube this morning I asked myself whether I really was practicing gratitude and joy, or whether I was just blindly hoping it might materialise.” Wrote a new blog today on #gratitude and #joy (link in bio). I have decided to also focus on giving thanks for the gifts God gives me every day. I love laying under trees. This always gives me joy! Not so easy in this weather but still... so leaves, I am grateful for leaves! #wednesdaywisdom #wednesdaywords #speaklife #speaklight #leaf #blueskies #lovetrees #1000gifts #gratefulheart #grateful #givethanks
“So often in January we speak of resolutions that relate to our outer-selves. We want to be thinner or bigger, we want to be stronger, we want a beer barrel to become a six-pack, we want to defy the aging process with better, less wrinkly skin or we want to complete physical challenges that will see medals hung around our necks. How often do we resolve to change our inner selves in the same way?” New blog on #gratitude and #joy. Link in bio. This image is one of three showing simple things that give me joy - I love #textiles. These are shepherding ropes and clothing hanging from a bedroom wall in #Ethiopia. #speaklight #wednesdaywisdom #textiledesign #practicegratitude #1000gifts #givethanks #joyfulliving #joyful #practicejoy #loveandlight #dailythanks
I have set myself the challenge every Monday to write a poem on the way to work. A positive, creative way to start the week! This morning I passed by a really elderly woman at West Ham station dressed in a long coat, big chunky gloves and scarf, but the most amazing silver sequin headwrap! Headwrap piled up high on her head, with West African swag, she was owning the platform as Hammersmith and City tube trains zipped by. .
Woman with the sequin wrap
lighting up West Ham station
like a firework let loose.
80 pushing 18
refusing to let Monday
beat you down.
Woman with the sequin wrap
One stray braid escaping
sparks of sunshine bouncing
refractions of a new day
as you bound by
in all your dazzle and style.
Woman with the sequin wrap
silver crown over silver hair
you are my fashion goals
hell, you are my life goals
wearing Blue Monday
like a fancy hat.
