Serenity

A moment of calm here.

I woke up this morning ready to let the day unfold as it wanted to.

Grateful for all that it offered.

The whole day felt like a blessing.

We can still go walking, only once a day, but not with any restriction over how long or how far, as long as we keep our distance from each other.

I found a lake within walking distance of home and it was glorious in the sunshine.

I went to pick a few things up from the shop across the road and it was so well stocked I had difficulty resisting a whole load of things that I can’t even justify eating.

I’m home and it’s quiet and at least for now, although I miss all the normal things, there is nothing I can do about the negatives. I’m wondering if this isn’t closer to the life I’ve been trying to build than the one I had before.

So I’m looking forward to watching spring come, to the lake, and to the tree outside my window.

I’m looking forward to having the cleanest flat ever and sorting through all my miscellaneous stuff.

I’m looking forward to staying calm, healthy, rested and hydrated and seeing what kind of results I can get from that.

I’m looking forward to completing some projects that have been taking ages because of lack of time or focus.

One of the things I love most about this is that, with not having to BE anywhere, you can do other things for longer.

You can do things for as long as you like.

I don’t have to set limits on things like, reading or writing for half an hour… I can just carry on for as long as I like, with all my favourite things.

I can’t remember when I last felt like that.

For today, at least, I love this.
