So it took me a while and the juices weren't exactly flowing smoothly, but I got there. In the night of a beautiful day where the light had faded and nothing felt quite so beautiful anymore, I wrote through a little despondency and feeling lost and reached my target anyway. It doesn't feel particularly celebratory or exciting, but it's good to have the words and I know from experience that when I look back on them and read them after sleeping on them for awhile, I'll be more appreciative than I am now and I thought that it was probably wise to document the moment.
Even in moments of feeling down, I think it's important to recognise all the good, easy, happy things. Here are a couple of other things I fully appreciated about today:
The bizarre and somewhat dramatic silhouette created by my high-low skirt from Cotton On, a cheap Pull and Bear tee and my fleece poncho. On my feet - Swedish Hasbeens for H&M clogs. Part leather, part wood and all comfortable goodness.
Something one of the 15 year old boys drew on the board for me today. These kids sometimes make me so happy.
