Sometimes a day off on a rainy Monday is a true gift. My mood matched the weather today so once the lawn was mowed and the gardens weeded and the gentle drizzle of began, I made a big cup of tea and tucked myself in under a quilt. With my window open to hear the rain I settled into my self and accepted that today this was all I had to do; drink tea and nap.
Hours later with tea drunk and dreams dreamed I meandered around the gardens enjoying the vivid colours and droplets left by the showers.

Do you ever find it difficult to give yourself the gift of real downtime? I know I do, I have a (long) list of chores and when I have a day off I want the satisfying feeling that comes from crossing off as many items as possible. Today after my nap I woke to a sink of dirty dishes and a laundry basket still overflowing. Does that bother me? Yes, but for today that is going to have to be okay.
Thank you for visiting My Turquoise Kettle Life today.
May you give yourself permission to find a little rest this week,
Sandra
