Making the most of a week camping. I don’t usually camp in the warm months and there’s a lot of people here, it’s hot, mosquitoes are bad at night allegedly, but I have my netting, sunscreen, book and I’m right on the river with plenty of shade, so hopefully I’ll be a nice week. I have my bike and fishing rod with me as well. I also have my two friends camping close by for a bit of company. I’ve had a bad week leading up to this trip so hopefully it’ll be an elixir of sorts.

Yeah, peace and quiet is a nice thing in today's bustling cities. There's a lot to be said for solitude.
 
It’s too easy to focus on the negative or what we believe is negative. Sometimes you just have to stop and appreciate the little things. I’m sitting in my garden, under some shade cloth, with the sun not biting yet, and I can hear lots of birds, a few are having a wash in the bird bath, and the flow of my little water feature I made. There’s a slight breeze. No flies or mozzies to annoy me. My coffee is tasty and the shortbread biscuit is also. I can now hear kookaburras laughing crazily as they do, which is beautiful. There’s no war, no civil unrest, no unfolding tragedy nearby, no debt collector at my door. Until this second I even forgot my shoulder pain. It’s still early enough for me to do plenty if I choose to because I have to option to choose what I do, being retired. There’s nothing so important that it can’t wait. I’ll just enjoy this moment a little longer.
 
One of my favourite movie quotes:

"[...] but look at me now: Stretching out this moment into a thousand, just so I can watch the snow."


Every small pleasure can be an eternity. 💜
