Sunshine Challenge - Day One - Amber

[smallhobbit]

 




There are a number of possibilities for today's sunshine_challenge but I've chosen to go slightly to one side.  Amber is the colour between red and green in our traffic lights system.  As such it indicates a preparation for change either from stop or from go.

Which made me think about areas where I'm finding a change.  This past fifteen months has seen a momentous change for me, as I've moved from being employed to being retired.  So work has stopped.  My volunteering commitments with Gloucestershire Bundles have increased.  My church commitments have increased.  My crafting has increased.  So they're all very definitely Go!

At the same time, my Brownie involvement is about to stop (two more weeks to go!)

And my mother continues to move downhill.  She's been told she needs now to be on a soft diet.  She disagrees, since it's bland, and because she understands perfectly what she's doing, the home are respecting her wishes.  In a way this feels like a very long period of amber.  

So, yes, amber - the time between stop and go.
