07:30 woken by my 3 dogs, let them out in the garden and make a cup of tea. We all go back to bed and I do word and word puzzles to wake me up and then share with my sisters in other parts of the country - we’re competitive and supportive of each other and are in touch daily.
When my brain’s been stimulated and tea’s all gone it’s time to get up!
I'm currently going to fashion school, therefore I feel like my life it's on wheels. There is always a deadline, very little sleep and when I realize I do have a bit of time, I try to get ahead on any school task. I want to have some time to slow down. I would love a morning walk, some quiet time, but it seems almost impossible as I go through school :-(
I do have Sundays. On Sundays we go to church and then go to eat afterwards. I recently realized I started doing all the cleaning I did not do during the week on Sundays, making it the worst day for me. I decided Sundays was to go to church and rest, whatever didn't get done, didn't get done. Oh well....Life of a Fashion school student who is also a mom and a wife.
Sarai all these pictures are BEAUTIFUL! Thanks for taking us behind the scenes of your life a little bit. How has meditation been for you these last 15 years? I'm thinking of starting my own practice soon here. Daily rituals? I don't have too many.. I sit and drink coffee with my wife every morning at breakfast and we play a game of King's Corners. It's a fun little card game that doesn't require a lot of thinking. :) I'm subscribing! I like your style. Have a great weekend.
My nightly ritual is not very beautiful or inspiring, but to help me retreat into myself so I can sleep, I play up to 4 games of sudoku on my phone, and if I haven't already started to fall asleep, read for a little bit and then turn out the light. What's important for me is to not have any interaction that involves talking to other people, but to separate my mind from the day's activity.
Its hard for me not to be on go go go mode. As I have gotten older I have been trying to be okay with slowing down sometimes. This winter I have been trying to go outside and go for a walk in the morning/afternoon sunlight. I have also tried mediation but my ADD brain wants to sing The Ramons catalogue instead, I'll keep trying though.
Me too, every evening my husband and I cook and sit down to eat. But sometimes, I wish I could just continue on and forget supps. But once we connect and get going I am always very grateful for that time. It really is important. Lovely post. Thanks for sharing your wonderful environment. xxxx
Lovely, Sarai - thanks for writing and for sharing photos of your life's journey with us. Many blessings to you and yours.

This is so beautiful Sarai. It makes me want to rewind my winter and redo it better.

It’s summer over in NZ. My fav ritual is listening to scriptures when I first wake up and trying to open my eyes. Then I do morning pages.
What non-fiction and fiction are you reading at the moment?
Hi Sarah,
Me too, every evening my husband and I cook and sit down to eat. But sometimes, I wish I could just continue on and forget supps. But once we connect and get going I am always very grateful for that time. It really is important. Lovely post. Thanks for sharing your wonderful environment. xxxx
