dreaming my dreams

I had one of this days that turned out sooo different to what one thought it could be... not in a negative way, just different, with lots of good things happening (depending on how you look at it, right!?)

and as I was stuck in traffic in the afternoon, I searched my iPod and listened through a great selection of songs by the Cranberries.
I cannot even remember the last time I did put their music on and I have to say it was just great...of course it brought back quite some memories and then I reflected on today...

...the kids have their holidays and I rise with my husband to get some things done before the kids get up...the sun already comes in through the curtains and oh, I just love to wake up into sunshine and a day that is not filled up yet

...my big girl woke up just when I wanted to start my yoga practice...as she placed herself opposite me we embraced the moment and did a little practice together...cooling breath, sun salutations and some partner stuff, ending in final savasana, giving each other a beautiful adjustment

...breakfast and coffee out on the terrace...
...surprise playdate for both the girls...they were taken to the cinema, lunch and afternoon play including air hockey and bowling!

...I headed out to do some anti gravity yoga with one of my friends...a whole new world opened up and oh, I am excited to explore more!

...coming back I realised that I don't have any kids at home waiting, so why not ask my husband to go for a quick lunch together...yes, he had time!

...with still lots of time on hand I decided to do the necessary shopping trip...as not really in a hurry and with just little things that I had to get, I was able to observe things I never realise on days I just quickly have to get things done..."my" music in the car on the way there, all this smells once you enter the shopping centre, incredible loud music in a shop I went to pick up some basics for my big girl (usually I like looking through all that clothes without the girls running from here to there, but that music was so loud today, I only did the necessary), the noises of lots of arabic speakers all around once I entered the big food shop to quickly check for oats and a special brand of crackers (all out of stock at the moment) and finally the heat that hit me once I left the centre to slip into the car again - my own bubble filled with cool air and "my" music getting me home...very slowly...

from there it was tired kids, tired husband and tired Mum...now off to bed, as I know for sure that there is a yoga class to teach in the morning...let's see what else comes along...
