Share Four Somethings - July


Something I loved My travels! I had the best time - and while predominately alone for it (I did spend 4 days with a friend in the 2 weeks), it was such a luxury to travel at my own pace (which is more intense than my family can deal with) and cramming so much sight seeing in - I was still roaming around sites at 10pm some nights - there was not a wasted minute! 

Seeing Alle Farben at Parookaville, neither of which disappointed. He was so great with a choir, brass section and violinist at times, as well as live singers. It was such a joyous set and my heart was full!  

   

Something that sustained me My travels! I saw so much beautiful art and interesting history and culture. I was filling my mind every day with things to think about and learn. It was so invigorating!









Something I'm carrying forward from this month to next I read three books in the two weeks I was away. I really hope to keep that pace up, making time to physically read. There's a real joy in that, plus relaxation of getting lost in another world.





Something I'm making space for I think I say this every month but exercise. While I was away I was walking around so much, lugging heavy bags and really just getting a work out daily. I need to keep this up as I think I felt better for it....










Pictures are from the trip...this and that.

  2. Nice to meet someone who understands. When ever I go without Ingo or friends I get asked if we fight. Noooo. I just want some time for my own pace. Happy T-Day.

    1. I think it's hard when you are physically fast and energetic and you have to build in breaks and less walking for others. When we travel as a fam, I allow 'hotel time' for the kids - sleep in etc while I get up early and go and see something before check out...husband will often duck out for a massage...so every third day, before we move on, or evening before dinner, I squeeze something in at my pace...ha!
