A time to recharge

Lately, these nights just seem to pass me by. I’ve been consciously trying to soak up every last moment, every sweet forest smell, every ‘hoo-hoo’ from a distant owl, every moment of quiet conversation and laughter, and every last kilometre on the soft, quiet drives home.

Autumn has been so beautiful, and the nights have been my favourite. I feel in such awe every night and that’s really needed, from all the chaos of my days where I feel I don’t have a spare moment. It has taken me 3 nights just to get through the first episode of Survivor 49. My yoga mat has been abandoned more than makes me feel good. But the peace of the nights like this one are just everything. For a few hours, the stress of baking, emails, cleaning, and every other part of daily life, falls away.

I am exhausted beyond comprehension, but I’m so thankful for all of this. My mind and body yearn for slowness , but my heart is full.
