I just love Fridays (even if I did have to work this morning.)!
With no homework to be done the afternoon stretches before us, filled with endless possibilities. The feeling continues on after dinner, and bedtime seems far away.
Whether I do anything or nothing, the feeling is the same and it's just a feeling of freedom! And I thought that I had served my time of hard labour a long time ago!!
So, the question is...how to get that feeling on a regular week day, with homework, after-school activities, work!!!!
I can hear Lindsay shouting the answer from the other side of the Irish Sea! Mindfulness!!
Also, I think, acceptance, positivity and gratefulness. Changing the way we look at the mundane and time-consuming every-day stuff! Taking time, even if only a minute or two, to be grateful for the air we breathe and the people we love and who love us, Making the mundane into the exciting, important stuff!
Today I am grateful for endless possibilities!!!
Gratefully yours.

LOL - that's why I like going on retreats. And likewise struggle with trying to hold onto that quality of awareness in the midst of 'normal' life!!
