One Day Like This

Yesterday morning, our walk took us high up onto a hilltop. We lingered for a while at the place Cameron named "Top of the World" many years ago. Cameron was playing in the snow, watching the birds and running around with his arms wide, mimicking their elegant flight. I soaked in the beautiful sunshine and admired the view. I took in a deep breath and as I exhaled, the opening strings of this song popped into my head. It was a perfect moment to take a fresh breath of air, deep into my lungs and do a little stock-take in my head about what's making me "tick" right now.

I'm enjoying that Winter is lingering - despite everyone I talk to commenting on how they're sick of it.

I'm enjoying that Winter, here, has been largely snow and sunshine rather than grey and miserable.

I'm enjoying forcing Spring bulbs in the kitchen to remind me that something good will replace our comfortable state of hibernation.

I'm enjoying inspirational books that gently encourage me to explore beyond my self-imposed boundaries.

I'm enjoying Cameron's enthusiasm for his subject of choice and his unending energy in pursuit of knowledge about it.

I'm enjoying writing here and interacting with you all.

I'm enjoying the lovely community I have found on Twitter.

I'm enjoying crafting with wool again and my increased confidence with it.

I'm enjoying taking hot baths with classic Glenn Miller big band music in the background.

I'm enjoying an alternative outlook to my default setting of all or nothing.
