The journey is
the reward.
~Chinese proverb
I don't want to rush. I don't want finality.
I don't want to be the first to have it all.
Happiness is not a destination but a way
of life. It's a promise to yourself that no
matter where you go, you go there because
every fiber of your body says it's exactly
where you need to be. It's days filled with
sunshine and rain, steel cut oats topped
with yogurt, and fresh salads, long muddy
roads the smell of the sea, knitting [always,
knitting], and just laid eggs. Yoga every
morning and naps in the afternoon, the
return of Survivor [I'm a fan] and reading
good books. It's about embracing yourself,
and loving others. Happy weekend my
dear friends, make it a great one.
Love,
Tracey

What a lovely, lovely post. Oh the new hair cut really suits you. I was going to say that it makes your eyes look massive, but your eyes ARE massive. You are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure that yours will be a great one,

I love the beauty and simplicity of your photos - the embroidered pillowcase, the eggs. The simple things are what bring us most joy.
ReplyDeleteI could not agree with you more, life is not about rushing. Good for you for using the gift of time so wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteYour hair looks gorgeous, love.
Yes. It's about enjoying each moment as they come.
ReplyDeleteSlow is the best. My happiest days are filled with healthy simple cooking, yoga/pilates, dog walking, reading and knitting/crochet.
ReplyDeleteWords from my own heart... well spoken! The hair looks amazing. :-)
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend. I must make time for yoga again. I keep saying I will but never do. Your hair looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteYou're so beautiful Tracey! I'm catching up with commenting on your blog posts. I read most blogs through Feedly on my phone, but commenting never works through it...
