Gathering of shells

360 degrees

I wish I was there again today. I didn't sleep well last night. I didn't think I was feeling anxious or anything, but maybe subconsciously I was. Anyway today was a typical first day back.

Flavia

Whilst I was away I took a book called 'Everyday Heroes' with me by Flavia. I have loved her work for a long time. I remember the first discovery was a pink mug with a shooting star inside it, and the inscription 'You're a Star'. It made my heart sing.
My nana bought my daughter a little picture book by Flavia and it reminded me how lovely and inspiration the world could be.
I love her spirals and stars most of all I think, and her smily sunshines.

Walk to beach

There was a short walk through the tea tree to get to the beach, that was totally vacant. I never saw another person on that beach for as far as I could see.



There were amazing shells on that beach.

Loch Sport

I have just returned from a week away at Loch Sport. Well actually, we stayed about 8 kms out of Loch Sport at a place called the 90 Mile Beach Holiday Retreat. I have barely seen another human, apart from Andy of course for a week and I loved every minute of it to be honest. I feel like a new person. I have read volumes and listened to podcasts I downloaded months ago. I have napped and walked on the beach and taken heaps of photos of shells, which were abundant there. I have had time to think and to imagine. It has been magnificent.
I have shaken off my cold and forgotten all the drama's I was caught up in before I left. I have made decisions and had ideas about changes I want to make. I have had time to appreciate was a blessed life I live. I am ready to go back to work on Monday with a positive outlook.

Power

We are off on our holiday tomorrow. So today is about packing up everything to go. We were meant to go yesterday but I spent the day trying to work out the power problem with my home.
We apparently have a shortage of electricians so I was unable to get one yesterday. It was probably a good thing though because I don't charge as much as they do and I was eventually able to work out the problem and fix it by removing a lightglobe and not using any power in that room. Today I might experiment more with using other appliances in that room so I can ensure it is the particular thing I thought it was. At least I saved myself another bill. It was a waste of a day though and quite stressful.
I had imagined all kinds of scenarios involving needing to get the house rewired and felt quite distressed about it all in the end.
Anyway, now I guess I will get back to my lists of what to take away. We are going to Loch Sport. I don't remember ever having gone there before. I am looking forward to getting away. I still have a slight cold, but am feeling better every day now. I need to change my habits back to healthier ones.
I haven't been exercising at all lately or any other healthy things!
