First Light

It’s still very dark here at 7am. So this morning after I had given Merlin his breakfast, I sat outdoors with a mug of tea and watched the light slowly appear in the sky and listened to the wakening calls of the birds. So good to have some slow quality time in the morning (for a change).

The day unfolded with yoga, followed by a freshly made orange, ginger and beetroot smoothie. Then a walk to the allotment to drop off composting materials. I was the only person there to enjoy the early morning peace. Merlin was walked and various tidying up chores were done at home.

Feels good to have had a day with more time to myself and to give myself permission to slow down, but also to get some tasks done in the house that I needed to do to help me feel at ease.

Hoping your Saturday has been a good one.
