This is a photo of my mother in law’s garden. She is 102 and this is her pride and joy. To be able to sit and work in this space is what motivated her to live, with passion and energy, to this ripe old age. However, after a fall from her chair last December, and a short stay in hospital, she is now in full time residential care.

I thought of her when we chose the subject for our next Coffee and Conversation.

Each month we invite you to join us in a conversation about some of the powerful topics that play a part in our lives. On Wednesday April 16th we are going to discuss one of the BIG topics – what makes you happy. I’m guessing the mere sight of her garden would bring my mother in law some joy. As that’s not available to her right now, then at least being wheeled in her chair to another beautiful space, so she can feel the sunshine and the fresh air, would provide some comfort and sustenance.

The power of nature to heal and restore was mentioned by the Princess of Wales last week. She cited how being in open spaces helped her a great deal while she was undergoing her recent treatment for cancer. Prince Charles, always a keen botanist and also a cancer patient, would most definitely concur.

What I’m trying to say is that sometimes the things we think will make us happy, such as success, status, money, fame, beauty, a fabulous house and so on may not actually give us what we are looking for. Sometimes it’s the small, everyday, things that bring a smile to our faces. In my case, I believe what I wanted to make me happy when I was younger has consistently changed as each decade has passed. Perhaps you agree.

We always value your wisdom, hope and kindness and love to discover what makes you truly joyful in your life right now. As always our conversations are open and shared only with those present on the call.
