Since I got married, other than work, we had less to do but in many ways much more to prepare for. We have been rather enjoying the reduced expectations.
It took me a while not to feel guilty for sitting down and my old way of getting alone time in long dog walks was gone.
We found joy in other moments in the simple and slowing life down just a little and I find now that time to check on the nature in the garden, planting flowers, savouring a cup of team and sunshine on my face.
Not much but I also find the mere act of being more present in the moment like grounding oats for pancakes and candles around a bath.
None of these things are difficult or expensive but looking out the moments help rekindle wonder and joy in life.
Leaving so soon? There’s plenty more to see here: https://theiristribune.co.uk/blog/
