Days

December 21st, is winter solstice. We gain daylight. It’s comforting, hard to see it, but it is happening. I am sitting in my pj’s, checkered, fluffy, middle of the day, sipping coffee, happy. It is snappy cold outside, the sun is dead centre in the sky. I have no need or want to do anything. You don’t get many days like this. I will take it.

My son cleaned the kitchen, fed the pets. I slept in and it is lovely. This keeps up and I will be deemed lazy. I have had a lot of busy days, and I could choose to be busy, the list awaits, but not right now. A breather, is exactly what I need.

For those of you who do not get these days, they will come. It may not seem like it right now, but they do exist. Before New Years and Christmas, it felt like my feet never touched the ground. Full tilt everyday! I know busy days are ahead, there is plenty of things to fill the time.

I can easily get lost inside my head. Walking in fields of sunflowers, planning my next project and work details. Reminiscing all the good stuff that has and will happen. Maybe it’s all the sleep I have been getting! The autopilot is just shut off for a minute.

Just take a deep breath for a moment. Nice and slow, in through your nose, blow it out really slow, three times if you need it. Put your head back, let your muscles relax. Just take five, if that is all you can get, take it! You need this, take it.
