It is not often I have a completely unscheduled day that is completely open to opportunity but I was blessed to have such a one today. And how appropriate for it to occur on Winter Solstice. Here is how I chose to spend it. I took my time waking up between 7:00-7:30. Along with completing my everyday wake-up routine I cuddled with the cats who joined me on my bed. Puppy was still sleeping on the floor beside my bed.
Downstairs I made coffee and took puppy for a longish walk down to the fire station and back. Back home I checked the butterfly garden and refilled the bird bath.
More coffee on the lanai with a cat on my lap.
Then I took my car to the car wash and vacuumed up all the dirt from the barn yesterday.
I took a brief walk down the mangrove canopied boardwalk followed by yin yoga.
And the day is still only half done. I still plan to stop at the store, relax at the pool, eat my leftover fettuccine Alfredo from my dinner last night, read and drink some Prosecco.
Tell me how you would have spent your day!
Some would say I have described my perfect day but those are reserved for the ones I spend with my kids, perfectly imperfect in their grinding routine, stressful moments and me yelling a little now and then. That is the true transformative magical place. And my happiest one of all.
