I am a bit sceptical about what we call blessings. I believe the ultimate source of blessings is within us. A good motivation and honesty bring self-confidence, which attracts the trust and respect of others. Therefore the real source of blessings is in your own mind.
I posted a photo today supporting Scotland and I’ve been told I’ll never be Scottish because I’m brown.
The idea is abhorrent. It should be challenged wherever it appears, and we’re not having nearly enough conversations about its growing acceptance.
Better weather may be coming tomorrow but are you too Glaswegian to handle the sun? Come & hide in Govan Old! Neil Baxter is talking about medieval Glasgow at 4:30 and we'll be talking about old stones all day!

Adding this to the list of things I’ve never seen before and probably never will again
The only thing that will bring happiness is affection and warmheartedness. This really brings inner strength and self-confidence, reduces fear, develops trust, and trust brings friendship. We are social animals, and cooperation is necessary for our survival, but cooperation is entirely based on trust. When there is trust, people are brought together—whole nations are brought together. When you have a more compassionate mind and cultivate warmheartedness, the whole atmosphere around you becomes more positive and friendlier.
