Stood Up

 

I drove to Colwyn Bay in bright sunshine. It was glorious. I was due to meet my friend Polly for lunch. The only problem lay in the fact she was in France. I’d written Feb 28th. She’d written March 28th
I sat at a table overlooking sea and had lunch on my own.
It was mindful
I turned off my phone and enjoyed the service, the food and the view
And I was mindful, that my thoughts slowed down and I relaxed
We don’t have time for ourselves in this strange mad little world
Supervision is teaching me the strengths of mindfullness

  2. A day such as this is made for solitary moments of mindfulness.

  3. What a glorious view, made for mindful thinking. You would have missed that had your date gone ahead. So silver linings and all that! You'll have to double and triple check the date/time for your next meet up, though! xx

  4. That is a beautiful view, makes mindfulness easier, or it would for me at least.

    What a lovely day, enjoy. I really miss the sea. We do have Lake Ontario and lots of seagulls but it is not the sea. Gigi

    What a serene and blissful view in your photo. I think it looks a bit like looking into eternity and a good time to be mindful.
    Mark March 28th - Polly - on your calendar!

    Hugs!

    Getting lines crossed happens to us all from time to time. But the bonus is that being able to take time out of time allows a quiet time to take stock and see the world in colour. Very mindful, very restorative. And a Friday, too. Almost like a long weekend! So have a good one!

  11. It's an ill wind that blows nobody good. The mixed dates provided a lovely gift.

  12. Oh well, miscommunications happen. No ill will. Your water view is fantastic. Just think of this lunch as a prelude to the one in March.

  13. I'm so pleased that you enjoyed lunch on your own. And now your March date is something to look forward to. Mindfulness---your willingness to grow and evolve, to change--in your 60s!---is so commendable and inspiring.
