Mother of Pearl

...were the colours in the sky at the beach today as the sun was thinking about going to bed....too subtle and beautiful not to post even though I have others from the outing that were contenders..

For the past two mornings I have awoken feeling like I have been drinking Tequila all night.....headaches and generally feeling a bit grumpy.

Even so I have manage to put in a mammoth days work getting stuff ready to get rid of for the council clear out (I gathered Rumis beds....leads....bowls together and threw them out...there is one lead in the car..I cant quite let that go yet).......and deep cleaning the kitchen....it was a done deal to treat ourselves to a couple of hours at the beach this afternoon...it was like old times except for our four legged friend running around....sigh!

“Sorrow prepares you for joy. It violently sweeps everything out of your house, so that new joy can find space to enter. It shakes the yellow leaves from the bough of your heart, so that fresh, green leaves can grow in their place. It pulls up the rotten roots, so that new roots hidden beneath have room to grow. Whatever sorrow shakes from your heart, far better things will take their place.”
