Monday 22nd August 2022
A mooching Monday it seems. Some days the tiredness sits on me like that Sea Fret (northern England term for coastal fog).I suppose there could have been an undercurrent of emotional Fret which is a good thing. Rainbows need the cloud in order to shine. Little niggly frets from both sides of the equator sat on my psyche like the mist but I know that eventually will lift.
I know from my therapist days that all emotions are healthy and necessary so I know that this Fret will indeed pass too. Plus there are the dogs in my realm. Sister and I took one of them out for a fairly long walk around a big block and both of us complained of blisters on our 'bendy' toes after yesterday's long walk. But the dog was happy and we were happy.
I'm feeling my gratitude for my lovely big family, and this opportunity to live with them and imagine life as a Brit. Gratitude for this experience of a lifetime to simply just be in a space where I get to explore and rest when I want. My phone and the internet that keeps me in contact with so many other people I love while being thousands of miles away. And tonight, I'm especially grateful for this comfy bed after a yummy homemade lasagna.
Gratitude and appreciation, yup that'll work.
