It was nice enough catching this bumble bee enjoying what may well be the Scottish bumble bee's national dish, thistle nectar, but quite incredible watching what she was up to. She was methodically following round the beautiful purple mandala composite flower pattern, anti clockwise, drinking from each cup of nectar in turn. It took her several minutes. Then of course she buzzed off in search of more sweet weeds in my garden, which is a tasty bee-haven of pesticide-free blossoms right now.
Thank you bumble bee for an object lesson in the beauty of doing something completely and methodically before moving on to the next task.
Here she is again a little while later and it is well worth clicking on the photo to see her more clearly:
And, following her lead, I have stuck in and completed one whole writing task in one go.
The follow-on benefit is that with a sense of completion from meeting my writing deadline, and from having done things so well in the process, I have been buzzing along with the next task and the next, till now I'm even blogging about it - nourished by thistle, bee and nectar imagery, as I hope you are too.
What's the task you could do, very well, that you could complete all in one go which would get you moving busily, and happily, on to the next task and the next? It feels great.
