I wish I could find the perfect words to encapsulate how I feel - tangled and torn between the past, present and future, wishing for sun on my back and the smell and feel of the ocean, for travel, for good, hard work - wishing for escape and that everything would miraculously fall into place. It never does, it never will. Progress takes time; once I learn to accept time and its simple, slow moments and am diligent in pursuing life in all its difficulties and goodness I will progress and move forward.
: inspired by last year's post :
making : room for extra headspace - clearing and decluttering
cooking : and planning tomorrow's lunch
drinking : peppermint and ginger tea to warm my shivering body up
reading : quiet by susan cain
wanting : escape, travel, summertime, opportunity
playing : with the idea of moving to Hawaii... or San Fransisco.
deciding : whether or not my thoughts are worth sharing with the world.
wishing : summer would surface, alongside sweaty runs, bonfires, laughter, salt in my hair, sand in between toes.
enjoying : candle light and strangely cool and swift air creeping through my window
waiting : for a swim in clear, warm water
liking : organising, decluttering every part of my room
liking : organising, decluttering every part of my room
wondering : what my Small Business Management course will be like
loving : delivering beautiful photos to photography clients
loving : delivering beautiful photos to photography clients
considering : treating myself to a new piece of beautiful jewellery
watching : life roll past. how swiftly life breathes, how fast her heartbeat.
marvelling : at neatly-stacked books and spring's symphony (birds and fresh-mown grass and blossoms and a delicious heart ache)
needing : an exotic escape.smelling : tree-scented candles and cool, fresh air
wearing : Gap bell-bottom jeans and a grey knit turtle neck sweater
noticing : that I thrive spending time with (myself) & that I'm never in dire need of entertainment - books, tea, photos and tidying have my heart.
thinking : that I should get up, take a shower, brush my teeth, stretch, exercise and get. into. bed.
sorting : photos, photos, photosbuying : a necklace - something pretty to spice up my outfits
bookmarking : keaton's blog
disliking : wearing old sweaters and jeans and being in a perpetual state of shivering cold
giggling : at a two year old learning new words
feeling : like exercising, stretching, moving
hearing : the sound of the heater whirring
looking : at clothes which need to be folded and put away, my macbook air, fingers tapping, an empty tea cup.
