Right! On the coffee front: Saturday morning 10.30am in the Cathedral. Donations of goodies welcome but I'm on a diet so don't make them too tempting!!
Today's challenge: Pull up a weed and as you do think of something in your own life you don't need to give space to...
No one is perfect. We've all done things we shouldn't have. We've all said things we regret and we've all experienced things we wish we hadn't. Could we let go of some of these things?
Maybe it's an unhelpful habit we should be weeding out... or character trait... or grudge?
Some weeds I know are easier to pull up than others - but those with the deepest roots, once pulled leave the greater room for other, more fruitful things to grow.
Weeding offers more breathing space.

Sorry wont make Saturday as I will be behind a stall at the car boot sale in Social Club...but if your looking for bargains afterwards! Great work Susan and dont eat too many cakes.... x
ReplyDeleteThis is one of your hardest challenges- dock and dandelion roots are hard to shift- literally and figuratively so it's a day for determination!

ReplyDeleteweeding!!!! iam staying with my daughter for a few days and weeding is one of my chores .As garden has not been done in months i should have a clear conscience now. Added a comment for sat 6th as my computer at home will not let me post comments.
the thought of the weeding was bad enough, but in actual fact that was the easiest part of this challenge. I so easily pulled them and tossed the weeds with enormous roots aside, but the hurt and grudges are not quite so easy to dismiss. Sorry. Wish I was a better person.........
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to panic about not having your blog to look forward to and give focus to my days. I have become so engrossed in it. I don't want this week to come to an end. :-(
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! Wont make Saturday but will say a quiet cheers to you all as I sip my coffee on the plane! Thanks for a thought provoking 40 days(I know we're not quite there yet!). Think I'll keep visiting this page to remind myself as the weeks go on.
ReplyDeleteI dont want this week to end either:( it has been a highlight of the day to follow your blog! could i make a suggestion that this blog be extended to 80 days rather than 40...?
