The discovery and application of faith brings understanding, meaning and ultimately happiness.
I have sensed a rising tide of confidence this week, which I put down to prayer, and the opening of my eyes to all the good things I have to be thankful for.

Specifically this week:-

A cashflow/budget and time plan for the company which starts in April with a significant payrise for me and D and includes the facility for a five figure dividend payment 88| spread across the next twelve months

Blackbird song

Winning a Bronze City Champion award and significant reviews in the local press about our achievements and potential

Walking to the local shops and meeting at least three people I know outside their homes or on the way, stopping for a chat and really being part of the community here.

Forming a ten-year plan in my head that leads up to a time when I plan to step back from work significantly, and looking forward to some of the things I would like to do next

Moving into a period of stability at home with the family, lead by the gradual realisation that there will be no more children. Baggins second birthday in August will be the first for ten years at which Trx will not be pregnant

Our combined credit card debts falling to a level which means all could be paid off by the summer

A new treasurer at the church relieving a lot of the pressure of my first year as churchwarden, and being invited to stand for a second

Seeing in print a programme of the events we are organising to celebrate our 140th anniversary this summer

Applying narrative text that begins to make sense to a biography I’m writing, and still being inspired by the discovery of unfamiliar music

So much more. There's a lot to be said for having a plan, and seeing the good-ness of things.
Believing and achieving. Making things happen
