My world is a very busy one at the moment, and I suppose much of my energy has been turned inwards and on the very wriggly little life that is growing in me! But there is stuff going on..... I will do seperate posts for some of the current bigger things that are going on, but here is just a snapshot of things from my world that are NOT baby related...
HOLIDAY
We went away for our little jaunt to The Music Room down near South Hams for our wedding anniversary. It was a truely inspiring space, where lots of creative thoughts florished! During the week, we both got VERY sick for a couple of days, which sounds like it should have spoilt the week, but actually didn't at all. OK, so having a winter vomiting bug wasn't great , but what it did force me to do was to slow down almost to a complete halt and really rest, and I was reminded of how this is such a rarity in everyday life. It gave me so much clear thinking time.
I also spent lots of time unhurridly pampering myself in the bathroom... you know, lotions, potions, scrubs and lovely smells! It felt so good to shamelessly devote all that time to myself, not for vanities sake, but just to feel good. More of this sort of thing needs to occur in my everyday life, not just when on holiday. And it is no excuse to say I have no time..... this was another pretty media free week, certainly with no internet, and it occurred to me just how much of my time is taken up with mindless internet use when I could be doing other things. I guess that also explains my lack of posting here, as since my holiday I have spent much less time on the net, and not missed it much either!
MAKING A DEN
I used to love making dens when I was a child.... and it occured to me one night that there was no need for me not to make one just because I am a "grown up". So I made one.... filled it with delicious snacks, inspiring books, my Ipod, some paintings to look at, fairy lights and my journal. It was the best night in I have had in AGES!
BEES IN MY CAR
I haven't seen any bees in ages.... I heard there was a world wide honey shortage a while ago due to lack of bees. And then one day, driving along, I realised one was buzzing away in the back trying to get out. I parked up to let it out, opened my boot, and two more flew out. How odd. What were 3 bees doing in my car??
I will stop going off on tangents now and bring this post to a close. But I am back, and will post more soon about what else is happening in my world...
