Whimsy And Wonderment

This will probably be a post about nothing, fuelled by a day of not much but wondering…
It all started on Sunday, with an afternoon spent watching a worship session, eyes closed, sometimes even singing along!
Lately I’ve fallen back into the trap of late nights and early mornings (waking up, not necessarily getting up), with a sleep debt creeping up on me without my noticing. Sunday night I went upstairs early and listened to some CDs I hadn’t unearthed in a while, then went straight to sleep. Nearly twelve hours later I was up again…
You’d think I’d be bright and energetic! No, still feeling lethargic – still have more debt to pay. I sat on the patio yesterday and wrote and read, enjoying the near silence and the breath of the wind in the trees.

Whenever I hear that sound, I think of the planet breathing, which then leads me to this song –

(This is where the whimsy comes in 🙂 )

Today has been a day of headaches (another side effect of wonky sleep patterns), but I’m still enjoying the earth’s breathing!
I hope you sleep well tonight –
and never lose your wonder.

Here You Come Again…

The new school year, that is!
It’s two days in, and things are going well – looks like Sweet Bean will be able to keep on top of the increased workload, and he seems optimistic about it.
I still haven’t figured out everyone’s schedules yet… there are things I want to do this year, but I have to work out where the gaps are to fit it all in.

I’ve been feeling better this week, and have been managing to get to the pool for some exercise in the mornings. There are fresh flowers blooming each day, like this cactus flower next door (it was a bit more exciting earlier in the morning – obviously doesn’t do well with the later day, or possibly the heat)

Lovely fragrant frangipanis – I collect the fallen flowers for the house.

I don’t know what these are. Somehow, they remind me of pincushions.

And, of course, my favourites!

We’re off to a good start!

Here’s the title song… just because.
