Sometimes my mornings spill out like a canister of pick-up sticks. I wake up with a concept of how I will be spending the early hours and then?
Not so much.
For the record, if I were to come back as an animal, it would not be a duck. Sleeping on a cold river is definitely not on my list of “would like to try” life experiences.
Here’s what I thought I would get done before 10 am this morning:
- drink coffee
- read
- meditate
- paint the bookcase
- bring up the Christmas ornaments and decorate the front window
- clear the mantel and decorate with glitter boughs that I found at the farmer’s market yesterday
- make two phone calls that were scheduled for today
- get ready for yoga*
Here’s what I actually got done: drink coffee.
Oh, and I took the dogs down to the river for a walkabout, but that was not on my list.
bisous, e
*FYI — for anyone playing along at home I am 7 for 7 on yoga every day in December. boo-YAH!
Sometimes the most important things do not make it to the list. They are implied. It is Sunday morning. It is a beautiful morning, from what I can gather from the stunning (!) photographs that you have shared. Coffee and a walkabout sounds just right.
I have posted and eaten breakfast that was made by my most talented husband. But I have also gazed outside at the falling snow. And snuggled in with my resident fur person. I am working my way to my list. I am not quite there yet. Soon.
Love your posts and *you*.
I've managed to turn off plug-ins and Firefox is killing me now. Love this post. Sunday mornings aren't for getting things done…they're for recharging! And so you did 🙂
Your photographs always take my breathe away. xoxo
ohhh! Jennifer! you are the sweetest! thank you so much— hope you can keep with your running in this awful icynes . . . eep. oxox
gazing and snuggling are two of my most FAVORITE past times . . .. xoox
I need that embroidered on a pillow please: Sunday mornings aren't for getting things done! love that. xoox, e
“Here's what I actually got done: drink coffee.” HA! I thought it was just me who had mornings like that..where I just steadily drink coffee, daydream and stare at a to-do list that never gets done…it just gets rewritten better over more coffee the next day. Gorgeous pics…that light makes me want to slow down and drink MORE coffee! It's a vicious delicious cycle, no? xo Kelly H.
I love how your dog is literally SKIPPING with joy in that top photo – fantastic.
oh yes, you understand completely! xoxo
I know! that is Ollie and I loved that I was able to catch him in a joyful leap–xoxo
