   I think one great takeaway from this Saxon is that there are going to be things in our lives that happen that aren’t in our control, and so feeling sorry for ourselves doesn’t help. Life doesn’t really owe us anything, so reframing ‘want what you have’ is a really powerful. Be grateful everyday and take those moment of pleasure and happiness however fleeting. Thanks for sharing!

     Thanks for having me over. I forgot to wipe my shoes before I came in, sorry about that. Yup – the only constant in life is change. Cheers

   I love that mantra Saxon. It’s really important to keep those black dots in perspective and not let them overwhelm all the good things in life, so I’ll definitely be training myself to use this mantra going forward. I wish you all the best as you recover and adapt to this new way of living. Thanks for sharing. 🙂

     Cheers Laura. Yup ‘Black Dotting’ things is really empowering. I haven’t been able to make them work for parking tickets and inspectors yet though 😉

   Saxon! Awesome post – absolutely love your positive outlook on life. Ah – and the people watching. While I love taking photos of food, capturing those unique and spontaneous moments of people overseas is simply captivating.

     Thx Sarah. Never tried food photography. I am very unsuccessful at cooking the stuff so I would imagine I’d be useless at photographing it. NYC and France are my fav places to visit mainly due to the people and the street photo opportunities. Happy snapping whatever is in front of your lens 🙂

   Thank you for sharing, Saxon! When something touches my heart and mind I reread it! After I write this I will think about what you said and then I’ll reread the post. I’m sorry for what you’ve had to face but I’m glad that you are finding your lemonade. The last two weeks have been tough but I will get through, hopefully smarter and stronger. Journey well!!
