and then there were pics………

in my head today…

I’m trying to be more focused on the things available to me in the present…and to not look too far ahead..

I’m trying to let life happen rather than rushing at things in a desperate bid to make them happen before they can..

I need to be more aware that life will happen according to the way it’s being planned FOR me, irrespective of what I might be planning

I need to be more concious of my creator…and show more thankfulness for all the blessings I have had and currently have…

I want to learn to be more still…..

there are a couple of things…

that I can’t promise you…. one of them is pictures for this post…because it is officially the season of broken bluetooths (or should that be teeth??) and and lost USB’s…and the other thing I can’t promise you is any clear idea of when I might find the USB or buy another bluetooth so that I can start uploading pictures to make this place an interesting place to be in…

the upside of all this is that we really haven’t been doing anything worth photographing anyway….

the house is almost packed..and is feeling like a pretty miserable place to be in…if we could all run away tomorrow we would…but I’m still waiting to get my passport back from the Irish embassy..and as much as I’d like to try it..I don’t think I’m going to get very far without it….so for the mean time..we wait to book tickets…we live out of suitcases..or in my case a rucksack..in our own “home” (it hasn’t felt like one for a long time)…we’ve stopped shopping for food on anything but a daily basis..cos we just don’t know from one day to the next when we might be leaving..which means that cooking itself has become pretty basic…no homemade bread..no putting food by….just alot of making do…which is fairly fun in the short term…but we’re anxious now to get the balll rolling and have a fresh start insha’allah..

all the crafting things have been packed..so there’s nothing of that sort going on either…lots of reading going on though..and walks to the park at the end of our street, now that spring has made it’s appearance…

it’s a time for taking stock and focusing the mind…quiet afternoons spent in contemplation of what has been and what is to come….that, and a bit more packing..we’re on a hunt to find the missing USB..which we think we might have packed by mistake….so you know what that means don’t you!!!

a spot of gardening???

So, after being forced into an extra long period of R&R….we look forward to the summer insha’allah and the changes that lie ahead….not many of which can be discussed as yetbut in time…I will divulge insha’allah
I’ve spent much of the afternoon looking at seeds…and deciding which to buy…. a spot of gardening looms bi’idhnillah….
As for crafting..there is something on it’s way…DD18 and I are making a blanket together for a very special little boy who has just made his entry into the world masha’allah
so we might just have a craft inspired picture to show you sometime soon….keep em peeled
