Reflective

I’m currently feeling:
Sombre.

My thoughts creating this feeling :
Her Majesty the Queen died yesterday afternoon at the age of 96 having reigned for over 70 years, our longest reigning monarch. I never met her but.had been instrumental in coordinating worldwide bellringing for celebrating her Platinum Jubilee earlier in the year and today am coordinating Worldwide bellringing to mark her passing. As we leave the second Elizabethan era and enter that of Charles 111 we mourn the Loss of our most gracious Lady.

My desired feeling:
Reflective.

Thoughts to practice to create my desired feeling:
Remember what a remarkable person she was both in public and private (from what we’ve been able to see) She has been a steadfast rock of this country and the commonwealth it will be hard to imagine a world without her.

I’ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
I am wearing all black and a small pair of diamond stud earrings. I will assist with tolling our bells alongside churches across the country today and  ring a half muffled peal this afternoon in her memory.

I will show up for myself by:
Being dignified throughout this day.

I will show up for my extraordinary goal by:
Respond with Ividness to queries from ringers and press about ringing that takes place over the coming days.

I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Buying save fresh flowers.

Today I am:
learning from her majesty how to be gracious.

Today I am grateful for:
The life and service of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 11. A role model for everyone and supreme epitomy of grace, elegance and kindness. May she rest in peace.
