Yesterday was the day we were booked to travel in our camper van on the ferry from Rosslare to France ❤️ then onto Spain ❤️ on our journey to Portugal ❤️. But everything changed and here we all are on a different kind of journey. Together. I decided to blog anyway at maireadhennessy.com (that link is in my bio for Instagram) #gardening #calm #journey #lifestory #patterns #littlethings #alliswell #behaviour #nature #copingstrategies #travel #notravel #irelandThank you... for the What’s App texts. They remind me of how lucky I am to have you in my life. colour #calm #creative #texture #paint #thankyou #gratitude #monoprint #gelliplate #oddwords #metaphorforlife #breatheStraight in front of my eyes... the gardening has moved temporarily into the shed as we await the compost but look what we found in there. They were growing quietly in a dark corner! Thank you, little miniature daffodils, you’re the best! . . #daffodils #spring #newgrowth #alliswell #colour #calm #garden #thankyou #gratitude #metaphorforlife #breathe #workinprogressAll in good time... my garden needed me more than I needed her... now I need her just as much and she doesn’t hold a grudge. Thank you to the garden center for delivering the therapy compost. #colour #calm #creative #texture #paint #thankyou #gratitude #monoprint #gelliplate #oddwords #metaphorforlife #breathe #byronkatie #alliswell #gardening #therapyStraight in front of my eyes... I made this a few years ago but only noticed today that it has never been more relevant... it says, There is no waiting for something to happen, No point in the future to get to, All you have ever longed for is here in this moment right now. It’s from The Call by Canadian author Oriah Mountain Dreamer. #colour #calm #creative #texture #paint #gratitude #brusho #oddwords #metaphorforlife #breathe #TheCall #oriahmountaindreamer #crafting #painting #making #bewell #byronkatieThank you... for staying in when you want to go out. Will need a million of these. #colour #calm #creative #craftingismytherapy #making #texture #paint #thankyou #gratitude #monoprint #gelliplate #oddwords #metaphorforlife #breathe #byronkatie #workinprogress #wipArchives
