Monday. The sun is out, spring is in tbed air. Some gardening and a stroll in nature lifted her spirits. As she cycled home with her face turned towards the sun she could feel the energy flow back into her tired bones. 💙
Sunday. Resting, recharging with art and stories. 💚
Saturday. She can see how she is slowing down. Her body in need of some movement and rest. Her mind in need of some play. She finds movement in dance, play in her art and quiet rest with a book. 💚
Friday. She think she did a lot, thinks she got a lot done but then again she thinks she might have forgotten something important....so to stop herself from over thinking she got into bed with a book and lost herself in a world of magic. 💚💙
Thursday. She decided to use the cold rainy weather and the fact that she had cycled a lot of hills today as an excuse to have hot cocoa and some dark chocolate after dinner. 💙
Wednesday. She was reminded that although the sky might seem grey today, this difficult time will not last. Soon the sun will shine again and. 💚
