A bright post for grey February.

Wednesday: Be mine, little jam cookie.

A mid-February experiment: Since last week’s post I took a picture everyday of something that made the grey February days feel a little brighter. It really worked! Rather than concentrating on how overcast and cold it was, I found myself on the look out at all times for little bits of beauty in my daily travels. Looking for the sun amongst the clouds.

Thursday: A shop sign on Carlaw.

Give it a whirl!  You really don’t need a camera- take a mental picture. It can be anything; noting a random act of kindness, a funny sign, a conversation you had with someone, a great meal, a delicious sleep, a phone call or a new pair of shoes!

Friday: Scones, clotted cream, butter and jam.

You may find that in all this grey, you are surrounded by pretty moments, lovely inspirations and delightful opportunities. How very spring like!

Saturday: Tulips from the market.

Before you know it, spring will be on the doorstep with the promise of sun, fragrant lilacs trees and fresh, breezy afternoons.

Sunday: Plasticine tigers.Happy New Year!

I wish I could take pictures of the all the lovely moments of the last 7 days:

Monday: Lydia, Joel and Arnault's Toc Toc Toc space ship. (They made it from an old Mr. potato head!)

Meeting my Mom for lunch, high tea with Kim and Viv, driving my sister to the airport, celebrating Chinese New Year weekend with my In- laws, having a whole day to spend (without work) with my fella, seeing my lovely Dirty Dancing Family again, meeting a group of theatre school students and being wowed by their energy, openness and kindness, spending time learning the world of etsy and feeling “the bun” move in my belly for the first time….beauty on a cold, grey week in February!

Tuesday: A bag the colour of red tulips. A new handbag always makes the day seem brighter.

See you next Wednesday.
