Two happenstance of yesterday made an impression on me. Walking the beach with my family we met old friends at the south end who we used to see quite a lot . He is now redundant after two banks merged and after 25 years service. He is positive, fit, seems happy and getting in golf with old friends. Asking about mutual friends, clubs and generally interested in life. Not anxious and getting on with life.
In the evening I saw the film by Nora Ephron, ‘Julia and Julie’ relating the story of Julia Child’s life and her French cooking reprised by a blogger. Julie started her blog at a low in her life and by the end of a year of passionate recipes and tribute to Julia Child’s attitude to life, good things began to happen.
None of us need be anxious about life; if we play to our strengths and get on with it very good things will happen.
