On the outside we count our blessings, as we walk by the lake it seems everyone is with either a party of people or a family, at times it can feel a bit lonely and tough.. I got a call from my sister, two of the tops I got were not suitable.. I found it hard going today I replaced the size on one but got so stumped and overwhelmed at the shops I decided the best thing to do was give up and come home.. So I tried to relax as much as I could this afternoon and just let go, I read and explored some new soul music on You Tube which was fun. I was bang awake at 5 am 2 hours before I know they take my sister for shock treatment this morning and running through fantasies of going over there.. But I had such a big week I just held back and managed to get an extra hour’s sleep that I really needed after a busy week.
Jasper got two walks today so that is good and a bone, its prawns and salmon and potato salad for me tonight, the nights are lengthening out and the temps climbing slowly, blossoms and hellebores (winter roses) and daffodils and other signs of spring are all around. I started to get a little spun prior to this but I talked myself down and a friend messaged me with some good news… Sometimes it feels like Jasper and I are all alone but I know that is not always the case.. we actually ran into a disabled man and his carer on our lakeside walk and we stopped to have a little chat earlier.. And then a man was at the lake picnic spot with his two young daughters who got a kick out of seeing Jasper, these were bright spots in our day…
Weekends can sometimes be a little lonely but I will make an effort to be in touch with people, because that always lifts my day.. I love the evenings best so it will be a slow cosy one tonight with dinner and my book and maybe a look at the tele… for now I will relish the dusk in silence. Where ever you are I hope you have (had) a good Friday!
