1. It may be cold, but at least there is a lot of light.
2. Being a HSP who needs a lot of time on her own to recharge / hide from the world I tend to be hesitant about making too many plans and my weekends frequently remain unstructured, which is how I like it. However, it hasn't escaped me that they can feel so much longer when a lot is happening. I spent most of Sunday and Monday in Dublin and Saturday at a wedding, and consequently Friday seems so very long ago.
3. I am excited because another book (or rather three short books - a trilogy for children) I have illustrated is coming into existence.
4. The money I earn in the months I get paid does not really stretch over twelve months, not when there are unexpected expenses, of which there have been too many. But I value my freedom and flexibility and the time to work on things like 3).
5. I am still reading Authenticity - making it last because I am enjoying it so much. There are so many parallels to my own life and circumstances, I am convinced I was meant to read it at this particular point in time.
*Apologies if anyone expected something more weighty.
I know what you mean about weekends feel longer when you have planned activities. I tend to leave weekends unstructured as well. I'd love to be the kind of person who fills her weekends with action and excitement but all I want to do is stay in bed and read a book!
ReplyDeleteIt feels so nice to read the perfect book at the perfect circumstances, doesn't it?
Yes - it can be almost uncanny, but I really believe there is a reason.
DeleteStaying in bed and reading is one of the best things in life, in my opinion! I think I probably need a balance of several unstructured weekends followed by one with a lot going on. x
That's so exciting about the trilogy you've illustrated coming into existence :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Keith! Finishing something feels so good. :-)
DeleteI love this post! I was expecting something more weighty, but this has pushed me out of my Wednesday evening slump with a great HURRAH! And I love that thing where a book is so good that you hold yourself back :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yes, Matt makes fun of me for my restraint, but sometimes it's just the right thing! x
DeleteI love your glittery shoes shown in the light here. Perfect. And, I will look for that book at the library. I’m always grateful for your recommendations. ♥♥
ReplyDeleteThank you, Holly! They always put me in a good mood. Hope you like the book if you read it xx
