Air Temperature: 7 Degrees Time: 7.45am
Simple things…
Mindfulness? Some days – no matter how you try, the day still feels ’dreary’ Weather neither wet, nor dry, daytime, but still dull as if the sun has given up on getting through the thick cloud… plus winter chill on the air… an emotional challenge to say the least unless of course you are already riding high on ‘good’ things that are going on for you.
So what do? – an invigorating river dunk helps enormously. All of a sudden you are connected to the day. You are aware of the warmth to the air and even the drizzle appears refreshing rather than oppressive… total switch round of perspective.
Pixies started to sing ‘Happy,’ dogs started to run around like idiots playing ‘tag’ and for a moment I was surrounded in a delicious ‘madness.’ Even the observing Goosanders appeared bemused by the scene…
Hold onto that for the day then… the small things matter…simple things make a difference…
Enjoy your journey X
