October Long Weekend

Well the school holidays are well and truly here. There is always a sure sign of the impact that the school term has had on me, and how this will influence the holidays. Today I woke up with a sore throat - now yes, I did cheer quite loudly for the Melbourne Storm, however, that was not the reason. It has been an incredibly long term. Long in the sense that it was 10 weeks, but truly busy. I really needed to draw on physical, emotional and mental agility to get through parts of it. I always find that the crazy-busy-frenetic moments are fine... until the school holidays. The holidays are a time when my body just stops and I sleep a lot (which I have done over the weekend) and occasionally get a sore throat (which I am trying to fight off!)

In any case, it will be a time for quiet. A time to clean thoroughly - to give clothes and extras away. A time to rest, to sleep, to do nothing, to swim, to run...to plant and to cultivate.
