THE GREAT ESCAPE ✌️
When I started this #ayearofmysticalthinking project in January 2018, I had this vision of becoming the kind of person who’d mindfully craft a Yule log out of greenery foraged in a local woodland around this time of year🎄... I still have the boxes I bought last year for the chocolate dipped orange peel I was going to make with the kids 🍊(but, well, didn’t)...Just a few weeks ago I had high hopes that I could pull off a magical solstice celebration with roasted chestnuts and mulled beverages and wholesome outdoor cheer... but, erm, let’s just say I’m not sure it’s going to happen (maybe next year 😂)... Instead I’m at my desk, typing furiously and dreaming of a trip down an open road somewhere that hasn’t yet invented the jolly jam jar (if you know, you know 🤪)... ✈️ BUT what I can honestly say is that despite the deadlines and the carol concerts and the shopping lists and the unwritten cards (there’s still time!) and the hunting down of Christmas jumpers, I’m calmer and happier than I’ve ever been at this time of year (and I speak as someone who’s managed to lose a phone and break a laptop in the last 10 days 😬)... So if you’re feeling overwhelmed right now I totally understand. To Do lists in overdrive, plates a-spinning... it sounds counter intuitive but if you can manage to take even a tiny bit of time out to breathe deeply, do some yoga or go for a walk somewhere frosty and beautiful I promise it will help... maybe you can forage me some greenery while you’re out there... 🍃 .
