It wasn’t easy getting up an hour earlier today. I woke up with Nina Simone’s song in my head to greet the new dawn. Its a slow start …. and I’m feeling good.
Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful in the highs. Be graceful in the lows. Find contentment in your Middle Ground
I woke up this morning to a surprise – no time change! I’m in the UK but have both US and UK calendar’s on my computer because the holidays are different. Yesterday I got a notification: Mother’s Day and Daylight Savings time tomorrow! Didn’t realize that Mother’s Day was the UK calendar and the time change was the US calendar!! oops. . . I thought I had the perfect excuse for getting up late!!!

I love the light, I dont’ like losing an hour. But what’s an hour, when we can walk with the sun that much longer in the day? Ommmm. xo

What did man do before he invented time? Being late, having not enough time in the day, schedules,
Time seems a double edge sword, the structure it provides is crucial but the stress and speed which we live our lives is counterproductive.
When we Meditate time ceases, no?

Agreed Marty. 💛 Time as we refer to it, is a construct of the mind. We live in the present.

‘Springing ahead’ is harder than ‘falling back’ for some reason. I woke up at 5 (really 6) and decided I may as well go with it. Hopefully, tomorrow I’ll be in sync. 😉

I must admit I wasn’t too eager to greet the day (so early) but I’m loving the afternoon! I love the longer evenings. I guess the balance will win me over. 🙂

For the first time ever, I didn’t wake up one hour earlier. I woke up at the time I usually wake up according to my watch, which was still in “winter time”. Since I had one of my short spells of not watching/reading news, and there was no hubby to remind me, Dylan and I just slept….and enjoyed our morning one hour late 🙂
