๐ญSian's Tuesday Thought of the Day๐ฆ
Well here we are, the first Tuesday of the month! Another month further into 2026, yet it still feels like only last week I was wishing everyone Happy New Year ๐.
For me, August is my first full month of being 1 year older, so I could say that this is really the start of my New Year. I'm very grateful that I can spend the first couple of months in my new year still enjoying the early mornings and late evenings being light and warm, as well as being able to travel to and from work without being stuck in the school time traffic! Not to mention, revelling in the general feeling of happiness as the holiday season is well and truly underway. It certainly takes the edge off the increasing number attached to me ๐.
I am also very conscious of how lucky I am to have been given the opportunity to celebrate being in this wonderful world of ours for another year. Looking forward to all what is yet to come and trying to make the most of every day in the best way possible.
So my thought for today is, let's not focus on the increase to the number we are measured by every passing year, let's instead follow the good advice of Edward Stieglitz (who created impressionist paintings that revealed the beauty of the urban landscape in the 1800's) - "The important thing...is not how many years in your life, but how much life in your years." Whether you spend your time being busy bee's or going steady and slow like the tortoise, make sure you are putting as much life as you can into your days. ๐
