Please, please, please let this continue...

Another sunny day; another spell of smiling faces and positivity from within. The last 5 days have lifted my spirits up to where I would like them to be all the time. I am sleeping better, breathing properly, relaxing, feeling optimistic and enjoying everything I am doing. Nothing aches, I like the drive to and from work and time seems to have slowed down to a pace that I can deal with.

The job has been what I envisaged it to be when I first thought about accepting it – getting to spend time in glorious weather looking after people who are in a great mood because their holiday is being blessed with sunshine. Up to this week, it had mostly been dealing with people’s disappointments and trying to keep myself warm.

We have had a barbecue, we have been to the beach two out of the last three evenings, and we have spent the latter part of each day sitting in the garden with a glass of wine, watching the September sunsets. Basically, we have been making up for lost time. We have been cramming in as much Summer as we can into the few days where Summer has made an appearance. But it hasn’t felt like cramming, it’s felt like a slow, satisfying, soul-enhancing period of loveliness.
This week has felt like a foreign Winter holiday, to be honest.
