As it was before, so it shall be again.
Warm days, hot days, bare feet and ice lollies. Somehow knowing this is a little way down the line helps me to enjoy what is now, encourages me to make more of these winter months. There are moments of joy in each season that are beyond my expectations in their beauty, in their simplicity. That ordinary moment that catches me by surprise and makes me wonder ‘how did I get so lucky?’. Two healthy boys, running in and out of water on a hot day. For me that is when it all makes sense, when normal and excessively joyful mix to make a perfect moment.
Wishing all a good beginning to this winter week with thoughts of now and thoughts of what will be in equal measure. Happy Monday!

The loveliness of those sweet, simple moments! They are beyond everything, aren’t they? They hold so much beauty and happiness: it’s bliss, simply bliss! When I experience them, I just think like you: ‘how did I get so lucky?’ 🙂
Isn’t it funny the things that catch us and stay with us? Often the simplest of moments, seem, in retrospect, to be the most meaningful and profound.
