- our joyful moments - weeks 12, 13 and 14 ~

 

 

I have no excuses - just good intentions to be more regular with these posts from now on.

Weeks 12 and 13 were still with the morning theme - my shots are Kunanyi (Mt Wellington) from our kitchen window and then my favourite Peacock jetty on a misty morning on the school commute
(I stop regularly and take shots of this - I'm sure the other drivers think I'm crazy).

Karin's shots are of one of her favourite cafes and her (always) pretty breakfast!.

Our theme for April is green.

My shot is the Easter egg carton surprise I made up for Jack with chocolates, a chick and some tiny magnets (the heart) - the girls got pink ones.

Karin is seeing the early signs of spring - so pretty!

I'll be back with more green shots next week.

The kitchen and food are certainly dominating our "mornings" themed shots.

Week 10 saw us making lots of watermelon juice - with a hint of mint its a great way to start the day.
Karin was enjoying the morning light in her kitchen and looking forward to those magnolias being in flower

Week 11 and we both chose weekend breakfast shots to share.  Lily often makes us pancakes on a Sunday morning - and with fresh blueberries from the Huon they are hard to resist.
Karin loves her waffles (so pretty) with organic strawberries.

#ourjoyfulmoments2015 is a weekly photography project - Karin and I share our photos here and on IG.

What's your favourite weekend breakfast?

Morning tea preparations at our house with a tablecloth, the fancy china and my new roses.  We had such a fun day hosting people.

Karin made chia pudding which I've never tried - but I will soon.

March's theme is mornings and we'll be sharing what they look like here and on IG.

What was your morning like today?

Here are my morning "every day" rituals for Sarah's snap-it theme this week.

What's your morning routine?

~ this morning ~

5am.

Suddenly wide awake.

(a noise? a dream?)

The thoughts start up; the list of chores for the day, the not-to-forget things, the conversations I'd have if only I was brave enough, the wish-lists, the plans, the projects, the things to remember to tell the Doc when he comes home.  

Then they're racing.  Round and round and round...

Demanding attention. Spinning around. Making me anxious.  Extinguishing all hope of more sleep.

And then...

Little footsteps.

A drowsy body snuggled into mine.

Warm breath on my shoulder.

My thoughts slow.

My body stills.

And my heart feels the peace of knowing love, knowing that all is ok.

Do you get anxious?  How do you deal with it?
