Tuesday, March 11, 2014How good are holidays?! Especially beach ones [well, for me anyway].
My little family and I have just come back from a break in the sun. And so, in the interests of savouring [which we all know, is terrifically great for well-being], here are my favourite things about being away [in no particular order]:
- afternoon sleeps
- seeing My Little One’s joy as she jumped waves with her dad. [Just like me, my mum loved the beach and there was something about seeing that ripple extend to my own daughter that filled my heart and broke it just a little, all at the same time]
- eating ice-cream on the sand
- reading in the sun
- hanging out, just doing nothing, with my two favourite people
And my other favourite thing about being away? Coming home.
You know, I reckon ends-of-holidays are a dead give-away when it comes to how you feel about your everyday life. That last.day.heaviness or happy.anticipation is incredibly telling.
I was reluctant to leave but actually, not.so.deep.inside I was really looking forward to getting back to our little home, our gentle routines and our everyday happiness.
