Sherbet is resting next to St Francis

Ah, my favourite Saint, St Francis of Assisi. How blessed I am to have found this wonderful sculpture of him resting. I am here at this magnificent place called The Hermitage just outside of Assisi and up a long ,winding, steep, hairpin bended road . It was St Francis' place to retreat to and a perfect place for his meditation. I am here, resting right beside him and as you can see I have taken my shoes off too out of respect for my beloved Saint Francis.

I know that he would not mind me being here, snuggled up next to him as he did love all the creatures of the world and surely that must include sheep even ones called Sherbet.
I have had a truly delightful afternoon here with the light streaming through the trees and dappling my wool with bright white splodges. I found my own special places in the wooded slopes and pathways where I know for sure that the feet and sandals of Saint Francis have also walked . I sat in my own quiet meditation and said a few little prayers to my favourite Saint. I know he was listening to me and I am sure he is very good at answering prayers . Love from Sherbetx

Sherbet makes his new year resolutions

Here I am sitting in my garden having a really good think. I am thinking and thinking and thinking.   Maybe you are wondering what I am thinking about.   Well,  it is the start of  a brand new year and  Pearl told me that I am supposed to think of  some new new year resolutions so I am trying to think of some things that will make me a better Sherbet sheep.
 I know !  I will resolve to do more yoga and I will resolve to do my meditation twice a day as I know I should.   Ummm, what else.  Oh yes,  my next new year resolution is to not make any more new year resolutions.   I think I will just make sure I                                                              count my many blessings every single day and always, always feel gratitude for all the wonderful things I have in my life. Yes that's it.  So I will start right now by telling all of my dear friends both nearby and far far away how very grateful I am to have you all in my life and how very blessed I feel to be living on this planet earth at the same time as all of you. Thank you for reading my stories.   It is a joy to share them with you.
Love from a very grateful Sherbet Sheep x.

Meditation, silence and peace

Oh what a lovely sunny day here at the seaside. Sheila Sheep and I will start our day just sitting on the beach watching the waves rolling in and out .  When we have finished doing that, we will just have a peaceful time with our thoughts, as we do not feel like talking much today.  We will find a comfy spot in the sand dunes and just sit side by side and enjoy the silence. We will meditate for twenty minutes and then I think we will collect shells and feed the seagulls. Yes, that seems like a good plan for our day.  I only hope I do not get sunburned ear tops, I can hear Pearl’s advice in my head this very minute, she is telling me to be sensible and to put some sun cream on my ears, nose and cheeks !
