Three Things –

As many people do, I like making lists. Not just prosaic ones for shopping or jobs to do around the house and garden, but fun, imaginative ones, reflective, personal ones.

I often think in threes, a special, almost magic number.

There are three-leaf clovers, it’s the symbol of the unity of body, mind and spirit, the Trinity; there are three Kings, three Graces, three Fates, three witches in Macbeth, three wishes in fairy tales, a triptych in art, three bears.

So here’s a list of questions I sometimes ask myself, and answer. I’m sharing them with you for your thoughts, and answers.
