Hmm those last two weeks have flown by! I have just taken an enormous leap of faith and asked (and was granted) for one month's unpaid leave from work. I finished up on Friday. This year has been such a roller coaster and the challenges have been absolutely relentless, so I figured the time has come for some self care.

My aims for the coming month are to start eating properly by eating regularly and eating more fresh fruit and vegetables, get into a better sleeping pattern and actually get more sleep, get some regular fresh air by going for a walk each day, start meditating again even if it's just once a week and pull out my paints. Start painting again. After that, who knows?

I was awake early this morning, so headed into the markets to get some more of the beautiful flowers I got a couple of weeks ago. I had a wee nap when I came home, then made Josh's girlfriend Sarah a belated birthday cake to have with dinner tonight. Poor girl, for various reasons her birthday cake has been missed, so tonight we're making up for it. My friend Kath came over to join us as well.

I had a phone call from my brother today, always nice to hear from him and he sounds well.

It was an absolutely beautiful day today, one could have been forgiven for thinking it was spring rather than winter. The weather has been unseasonably warm the last couple of days, but will be no doubt followed by some more cooler weather.

That's about it for now. Today's pic is of Sarah's birthday cake and the flowers I bought at the markets in the background.
