It feels too soon to be writing this but here we are...a month until Christmas!!
Things I've Loved/Disliked There is of course, the obvious one but for everyone's sanity, I'll skip it. Focusing on what I loved instead, I'll go with Max Frost doing another round of the battle of the covers. Follow his Insta and join in the voting. He's such a talent and it's a free, fun game. It puts a gleeful spring in my step every time he posts another round.
Took my birthday present (from back in Feb) out for the first time at Currawong. Had a really lovely early morning (but late enough for the sharks to not be feeding...no dawn and dusk people!) paddle board. Am on the look out for more opportunity to use it.
Things I need to Improve I am constantly feeling stressed and time poor - but I think I'm just mismanaging time. I do have a lot of obligations at the moment and my work is suffering a bit. I need to maybe get myself better organised, though I sort of resent all the extra work Christmas creates at the moment (I know by mid December I get to enjoy the rewards with all the socialising but for now I'm a little bah humbug).
Things I've Accomplished Half the Christmas shopping. Though one kiddo has literally nothing from Santa at this stage. Even sorted half the food (ordered not arrived, obvs). So for me, that's feeling very organised....yet I still feel I'm not!
The photos this week are from my bay run walk, but I've decided to flick some upside down because you may remember I like to do that (other times are here , here and here) If you want them right side up, look here.
Hope you had a great month too!
Marvelous reflections!
ReplyDeleteNice cloud reflections in your photos. I hope you get to do more paddleboarding and have less stress in the week ahead. Thank you for your weekend coffee share.
ReplyDeleteI've been feeling stressed and time poor too. What I've been doing more lately is doing meditation before bedtime. Ideally I would like to meditate in first in the morning too. It definitely has made a difference!
ReplyDeleteThis year has been more stressful then years past. We haven't begun Christmas shopping yet but we have an idea of what to buy which helps. Here's hoping life settles a bit for you so that you can enjoy your days better, especially with the holidays fast approaching. Thanks for joining the 4M party and since you like Battle of the Covers, then you might want to stop by early on Dec 1st for my newest Battle of the Bands edition. ;) Have a boogietastic week, Lydia!
ReplyDeleteOops, I forgot to sign in. This is CAAC!
DeleteChristmas has snuck up fast this year. I l9ve Christmas but if we skipped a year, I would be OK...lol. love your pictures of the peaceful waters. I never heard of him before but he was good to listen to.
ReplyDeleteI'm one of those party poopers who is going to announce "no Christmas gifts this year" due to a family situation taking a lot of my time and mental energy. Fortunately I don't have young children on my list, who wouldn't understand. I enjoyed the beat of your musical selection and your reflection photos. I also like taking reflection photos.
ReplyDeleteI had 2 friends say let's not do gifts but I'm going to our xmas lunch today and I have gifts. I don't expect or want anything in return, but I want to do it....I think that's okay...we shall see.
DeleteI think we are all stressed this time of year, and it's been a stressful year. I hope you manage to get your shopping done soon, and everything organized so you are able to relax.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a stressful year. I'm kind of bah humbug too, but that's typical for me. Love your upside down skies!
ReplyDeletegreat sky reflections!
ReplyDeleteNice reflections.
ReplyDeleteWorth a Thousand Words
You got some marvelous reflections going on!!
ReplyDeleteI think the whole entertainment is still exploding from being under wraps during Covid. I was flabbergasted last month when I read that the first case of covid in humans was diagnosed just five years ago! Amazing, it cut a broad swath worldwide. Oklahoma lost 1% of our population to it.
Gorgeous reflections.
ReplyDeleteHands to the sky..., beautiful song and a great sky in the video, but the reflection and the sky above the water is simply gigantic!
