Just an Ordinary Day......

It was just an ordinary day.
Why on earth would anyone say
It was a day worth repeating ?

Long hours were spent reading.
I heard the sound of your laughter.
We drank some wine. We ate some pasta.
The two of us had slept in late.

Nothing much to celebrate.
It would be a mistake to think there was.
We watched a paper bag blow by,
There were vapour tails in the sky.
The leaves danced gently in the breeze.
The blossom gathered in the trees.
A dog barked. A seagull cried.
The moon reached down to pull the tide
Quietly, with age-old practice.
And the world turned slowly on its axis.

It was nothing much to shout about.
Who would ever say
Today was an extraordinary day ?

…………………

Today was an extra ordinary day.
Who would ever say
It was nothing much to shout about ?

The world turned slowly on its axis
Quietly with age old practice,
The moon reached down to pull the tide
A dog barked. A seagull cried.
The blossom gathered in the trees
The leaves danced gently in the breeze
There were vapour trails in the sky
We watched a paper bag blow by.

It would be a mistake to think there was
Nothing much to celebrate.
The two of us had slept in late.
We drank some wine. We ate some pasta.
I heard the sound of your laughter.
Long hours were spent reading.

It was a day worth repeating.
Why on earth would anyone say
It was just an ordinary day ?

If the mountain seems too big today
then climb a hill instead;
If morning brings you sadness
it’s okay to stay in bed.
If the day ahead feels heavy and your plans feel like a curse,
There’s no shame in rearranging,
don’t make yourself feel worse.
If a shower stings like needles
and a bath feels like you’ll drown;
If you haven’t washed your hair for days,
don’t throw away your crown!
A day is not a lifetime.
A rest is not defeat.
Don’t think of it as failure,
Just a quiet, kind retreat.
It’s okay to take a moment
From an anxious, fractured mind.
The world will not stop turning
While you get realigned!
The mountain will still be there
When you want to try again
You can climb it in your own time,
Just love yourself till then.

Getting Older.......

'Every day won from such darkness is a celebration'

Reminding ourselves that we are all getting older and celebrating the positives of hot coffee and winter sunlight.

Sometimes we have to remind ourselves..... sometimes we need to talk

.......and the people stayed home, and read books, and listened, and rested.

4 years on and people are still feeling the effects of 2020. Lost friends and family, long covid, lost school years, grief, isolation and fear.

Blessed to have been gifted this beautiful book by one of my clients 💛

Sometimes, you have to drop a few plates
watch them smash on the ground
and shout, this is my circus
I'm tired of being a clown.....
