3 Girls and 4 Suitcases.
Because I didn't get to bed till two, I didn't set my alarm yesterday and, after dismissing the thought of getting up when I saw five-thirty on the clock, I woke up at nine-forty.
I hadn't set the coffe maker to be ready but I did have it all primed to go with a flick of the switch (actually, I needed to also plug it in) and it was straight into my usual morning routine, if a couple or three hours late.
I read three 'daily-inspiration' books and write my affirmation ten times, whilst I am drinking my first cup of coffee. I know that some may say that it's multi-tasking and not being mindful but I am very aware of everything that I am doing, whilst doing them together.
I say thank you for the coffee and I let the inspirational words wake me fully to the possibilities of the day ahead.
Thinking about new year resolutions, I didn't make any. I already try to choose to do the best that I can each day and for me to add to that would make no sense.
Each day is a new day. In fact, each minute is a new minute. In fact, each second is a new second and we can choose to make it a great one........or not.
Yesterday, I knew that I had to write about bereavement somewhere and I chose to put it on my Blog page on my Bach website. I have lots of friends who are struggling with 'loss' at the moment and I was going to write about how much the Bach Flower remedies helped me to grieve, when my mum died, in the hope that I could help them.
It didn't pan-out that way and I ended up writing about my experiences of losing my parents, some twenty years apart and I almost didn't post it. But, I did because, even if it is only ead by one person and it helps that one person to heal one tiny bit, then it's worth it. In fact, it was read by me and I know that it helped my heart heal one tiny bit more, which was amazing because I thought that it was already fully healed.
There wasn't an awful lot of activity in 921, yesterday except for lots of eating and we opened up our 2015 calendars. The photo is of mine, by a Canadian artist called Shawna Erback-it's beautiful.I had a lovely blether with Bill on skype, with lots of giggles especially about the video of Ali on Facebook. I had forgotten how extraordinary she was at two and a half. There is another one that shows her playing in her room but as soon as she saw Bill with the camera, she launched into Ali Bali-her party piece. We will try to find it to share-it's fab.
The girls and I realised that time was running out for us to go see the lights on the big posh houses and so we headed out last night for a walk. It was only -3 and so we thought it would be okay. The wind was flippin' baltic but we survived forty minutes of wandering in wonder, at all of the beautiful homes and lights. I will try to post photos later from the girls' phones.
Returning to the warmth, we snuggled up under blankets, in front of a cute movie and the girls were in happy, giggly mode for which I was almost reaching for the Beech-lol.
I left them downstairs, still happy, giggly and have no clue what time they went to bed but neither of them have surfaced yet. Ali will perhaps struggle a wee bit when school and work begin on Monday.
Well, That was my New Years. Hope that you had a lovely day, too.
Much Love.
