Its exhausting being me sometimes, my mind never stops, in fact it is like a busy airport. I wish I was one of those calm, zen like people who can meditate. I really love the Buddhist concept of mindfulness and bringing oneself into the present and the ordinary. I have been trying my best to practice this when i remember to and can pull my mind back down to earth. Perhaps this is why I have suddenly taken up gardening (this is probably  just an age thing though! ha ha) Here are a few ordinary moments from Jacki land. I love our house and our village!
