A Moment of Quiet

After 3 days of football tournament and having to be places and ferry people around it was so lovely to come home and find some time to just stop and be. We bought this outdoor setting about 6 months ago s a place to sit and contemplate the view with a cup of tea yet I don'y find the time to sit in it often enough (actually it's probably that I don't make the time to sit in it often enough!)

Today after a busy day I just needed to sit and be still so I thought it would be lovely to sit in the afternoon sun light and enjoy the quiet. A comfortable cushion, a hot cup of tea in a big mug something to read and time for contemplation in the last rays of the sunshine before it set was just what I needed. 

Why is it that we don't take the time to self nourish? Why do we stop seeing the new things we bought to enjoy? Why is it they become everyday and we forget the feeling of excitement when we first got them. It was so nice to sit somewhere different from my usual places and enjoy seeing our garden from a different angle. I must do this more often!
