I am so glad December is here, I love this month.
I am feeling much more like me now, I have really stopped, its been difficult, but I have slowed right down, I even had a lovely comment at work this week ' you're always so relaxed', boy if only they knew!
I have made a concerted effort to be thankful and mindful, I have chosen what needs to be done and what can be left for another day, I have given myself time, I have spoken to myself when things really need to get done, that I don't want to do [ work related] , it seems to be working. If I have woken early, I have made a cup of tea and gone back to bed, I have read, knitted or surfed the net, just relaxed before I start the day.
Hubs ushered in December with a lovely and thoughtful gift, this year we decided that we would not buy each other Christmas gifts, just some small Christmas stocking gifts to open with the boys, so he went and bought me a beautiful Yankee candle advent calendar, I love it..
I have spent time doing the things that I like, even the dog joined in
I managed to get him down to one of my favourite fields along the river, hes refused to go down there for months...
I have read my first Christmas book
with my hound at my side
Ordered and then cast on a knit project I have been lusting after,
I even swatched, now that's a first !
This is going to be my 'Lundy Hat', I have just paid for the helicopter flights over to the island, and will be celebrating my birthday there next February, we have booked the same accommodation as last year, staying for 3 nights, a long weekend, with my birthday smack bang in the middle, cant bloomin wait..
I love that island.
