Permission......

After an early-ish start the van was nearing being packed and the house was nearing being readied but I was anything but nearing readiness.  I had intended leaving today around lunchtime but by the time lunch rolled around I had had a revelation......I didn't have to go today....I could go tomorrow morning.....give myself a few more hours to ready myself.  So I gave myself permission to slow down, dwell a little and accept a later start.  Ideal!  Pressure off, Gerty fuelled up, water tank full, shopping done, fridge full, extra jobs done.......all but ready for the off tomorrow morning and feeling good.

This chocolate cosmos bud was the focus of some of my 'slow down' time.  Permission to dwell and smell....the chocolate!
