Take in the view ..... are you on the path to the top?

At the very top of Arthur's seat, Holyrood Park,  Edinburgh earlier this week - on a sunny day, I looked out over the city, a panoramic view. 

I saw the sea, places I'd lived, places I'd visited - I thought back to being there almost exactly a year ago - a lot had happened and I was very grateful.

There was much to "see"  - the various paths from various angles, people approaching in different directions to climb the hill to the top - the wide well lawned path, the tiny cragged "on the edge path," the one with lots of little stones underfoot, the one with steps, quite causal, yet orderly and safe stones, the path with very shiny, slippery, stones, (that's hard to say!!), some paths with a sharp incline,  some gently rolling round and round and still getting there -  the rocks with small beautiful wild flowers on the way, more flowers much further over, visible but not within reach.

People around - on their own, holiday groups, families, friends, couples -  walking quietly, sleeping in the sun, children "rolling down, " folks clambering to the top, to the highest point! Dogs racing, some on leads, lots of conversation, photographs being taken, lots of space and beauty, lots of quiet.

I loved just being able to take in the view, to breathe, to enjoy the moment - to think about the year past and the year ahead.

Where is YOUR place to take in the view, physically and metaphorically?

Stop, take in the view... 

What path have you been on? where are you heading? are you on a path leading in a certain direction to the top? What is "the top" for you?

If you could look out, around you right now - What do you see? What has happened in the last year - what can you influence NOW for the future.  This time next summer - what do you want? What's the outcome...., take in the view and enjoy,  plan your way, make it happen -  its down to you!  Start walking that path now, step by step .... or keep persevering, if its the right path, stay on it!

 I can support you to get there, love to talk with you - do get in touch.
