Monday musings

We are 2/3 through January but already I’ve learnt a couple of things in this brand new decade.

That Insta is so much fun and I’m actually enjoying it more than Facebook. I joined the Insta party late (last month to be honest) but I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it so far.
Neon orange nail polish can brighten up a Monday in seconds.
Watching Masterchef Australia while eating supper is our new evening tradition and I love it.
The amount of work that goes into moving your blog to a new platform! Oh my goodness! But I’m here and loving Squarespace so much.
It is possible for me to drink more water than tea. January has been the month I try to increase my water intake and it is going well so far.
That you are never to old to countdown sleeps to your birthday - less than 2 weeks!
That no is a complete sentence. I’ve always been a person that assumes they have to justify decisions. If I’m put on the spot or feel pushed into something I used to feel bad declining or saying no. But the other day when I realised I’d said yes to something that didn’t align with what I wanted, I reassessed the situation. Then put myself first and politely said no. Better late than never.
That taking time to appreciate and show gratitude is essential. Yesterday morning as I sat in bed with a book and a cup of tea while I listened to the summer rain. It was such a peaceful moment that I just took time to sit there and soak in the relaxing morning.
