30 Days of Noticing Hints of Gladness

When I am among the trees,

especially the willows and the honey locust,

equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,

they give off such hints of gladness.

I would almost say that they save me, and daily.

~ Mary Oliver ~

For 30 days (or more) I’m going to post and talk about the things that give me joy. I'm going to do my best to record hints of gladness especially when I walk and throughout the day.

To sustain this, and what will hopefully become a habit, I have to keep it as simple as possible, so I’m not going to write or do anything too elaborate other than to briefly comment on what's making me glad and have a picture or two to go along it.

Take good care,

~ Rod

P.S. If you'd like to join me, let me know. I would love to have some fellow travellers who are taking note of their hints of gladness. Email rod@hintsofgladness.com

Afternoon Walk
As I stepped onto the trail for my afternoon walk, I was grateful for the simple beauty around me—the birds singing in the trees and the sound of water rushing down the hill in the creek below.

Morning Reflection
On my morning walk, I was reminded—maybe by the universe—to stop trying so hard and just go with the flow. That seems to be my growing edge these days.



Coaching Insight
I’m really thankful for my recent coaching call—it gave me the push I needed to finally get started on this posting program.

Energizing Client Work
I felt so energized mid-afternoon while working with a client who's building a network of world-class leaders. It’s inspiring to see how he’s creating opportunities to enhance the lives of everyone in his circle.
