My thoughts

In cross stitch

Evening Time

Relax, unwind
Search out the light, the warmth
Feel thankful
A home
Food in my belly
Family
The love of a very good man

Sun Seeker

It's not as if, I hadn't been warned.
Frosty photos on instagram, wrapping up for the school run posts on Facebook, chickens huddled in a pile and the dog hot stepping it round the garden and then retreating to her bed.

And, yet, when I stepped out, armed optimistically with my laundry, the fresh air rushing into my lungs was a shock,the chilly tingles a surprise.

Winter is coming, is here ?

Washing hung, I searched the garden, yearning for my dose of vitamin D, some warmth on my face, bright light to fill my being.

Weakened, low in the sky but not defeated, still shining, I stepped into my puddle of sunshine.

Thank you November sun.

Sunday Stroll

Saturday Morning

Rain
The smell of good coffee
Dr Seuss in bed, nonsense reigns
Bath of bubbles
6 music, accompanying the little ones cough
Apple and plum sauce bubbling, ready to top my muesli
Shopping list, recipe book
Address labels
Pots of play food

Happy Weekend

Happy November

I am embracing November, it's darkness, the cold weather it brings, short days, long nights, I embrace it all.
This month, for myself, my family, my home, will be centred around peace and mindfulness.
I will not get caught up in the festive rush but celebrate the art of making, creating.
We will enjoy noticing the changing of the season on our walks and give thanks for what has been and welcome in the new.
We will feast on good food, foods that nourish and give health.
We will be mindful, not wasteful of the food and drink we have, we are the lucky ones.
I will honour myself, my friends and family, letting them know the special place they have in my heart.
I will rest, relax and restore my soul, my spirit, my self.
I will learn to find my own light in the winter darkness, my own warmth when temperatures drop, I will learn to listen to myself.
I will celebrate this wild and precious life.
Join me ?
