Shed off…

Shed off…

So, here are the reasons I cannot erect a shed…

  1. The land is communal.
  2. The freeholder (housing association) doesn’t allow it.
  3. The local council planning department doesn’t allow it.

So, in the spirit of the ‘law of attraction’, I have thought about visualising what I want to manifest it. It is possible. But not where we are. The only way to do it would be to move house. And at my stage in life, I don’t think it is worth the cost and inconvenience of moving for the sake of a shed. Since we decided to stay where we are, I’ve found it somewhat liberating.

So, the shed is off. I’m thinking about how in Buddhism, it’s unfulfilled desire that causes suffering. Well, I’m renouncing suffering for the sake of one unfulfilled ambition. Instead, I’m counting my blessings, of which there are many. It’s good to cultivate an attitude of gratitude.

We left the old shed (see photo), at our previous accommodation, to the new tenant. I guess that was a blessing for her.

    Such a beautiful shed, and truly a blessing to the tenant. What’s inside?

    Yeah, cultivating the attitude of gratitude is very needed. I’d like to phrased it again: “There’s nothing perfect that we are used to be now.” And that’s Rhonda Byrne’s thoughts again. We are perfectly located whatever life stages we are now.

    Hugs always, Little!

      Thanks, Hazel! 🙏🏼 I think it’s like John Lennon said in “All You Need Is Love “, there’s nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be.

      Yesterday, one of our neighbours collapsed in the street while chatting to Yvonne. Yvonne is a former nurse and was in the right place at the right time. It’s things like that that make me think there’s a Higher Power behind it all.

        Yes, He is indeed with us the time we need Him. Well, always. He just sent angels, and Yvonne was an angel to your neighbour. Prayers for healing to your neighbour.

        My pleasure always, Little
