From Pammy – PCW

Welcome back everyone.

School holidays and Easter are over and now we are back for Term 2. We have lots happening and first up this term was the Awards Ceremony. Congratulations to everyone concerned.

I found something interesting in the holidays, when reading about lifestyle and well-being, called Wabi-Sabi. This means: Finding beauty in ageing and imperfection.  In the Western world we value permanence, grandeur, symmetry and perfection, all of which are hard work. Eastern philosophy, however, encourages us to see the beauty in things that are modest, simple, imperfect or even worn and decayed, such as a piece of bleached, old driftwood or a wonky homemade biscuit.  It’s about accepting things just as they are, because even imperfect things are perfect in their own way.

Try it – Slow down and discover beauty you might normally pass by.  Appreciate the comfort of old, worn-in jeans, or boots and acknowledge the stories told by scars, laughter lines and fingerprints instead of trying to hide them.

When I read this I thought about it and it is true. I have a lovely comfy old pair of ugg boots. They don’t look that great but they are so warm and snug and I love them.  Hope you enjoy thinking about the above.  Have a great week and be kind to each other.  Cheers Pammy J
