In the moment.

Note to readers (my lovely Baggees): For the avoidance of any doubt - every character in this blog is me!!! No Baggy was harmed in its writing.

Baggy's daily state!
Depression (Black = really bad/Grey = not great/Blue = okay/Yellow = sunny day): Blue.
Anxiety (From 1 = barely any to 10 = gibbering wreck standard): 2.
Tears: No.
Overall day: Relaxed.

Fifty eight today! Happy Birthday to Baggy. Not quite sure how she got so old - yes, thanks baggetts, "One day at a time", Clever Bird realises that, but when did 24 hours apparently shrink to five hours? That's the only explanation she has for time whizzing by so quickly. But she's alive and well and enjoying life as it flits past. Well, when she's not asleep that is! Baggy went to bed at 8.30 last night (because Cal did, and she was tired). Unlike Calum though who was up at stupid o'clock to go to work, Baggy was woken by Pepper at 10.00am! Furry Mama realised that he was tired too. She was just making a cup of tea when her sister phoned to wish her a "Happy Birthday". Much yacking later Baggy was even more proud of her elder niece! Apparently her trip to Thailand for yoga, meditation and one-to-ones with Buddhist monks, was not at all what it was meant to be!! So she sorted it! Complained to the company she booked through. Got a refund. Found another retreat. Booked it. Took buses, tiny planes and ferries to a Thai island. And now has the meditative break that she wanted in the first place. But it sounds as though it was all part of the universe's plan, because the retreat she is now on is so touchy-feely-hippy-lovey, that she probably wouldn't have booked it. But she loves it. Aunty Baggy is happy for you Em!

Clever Bird decided that Baggy needed a bit of inner-rebalancing Zen on her birthday as well. So Furry Mama packed Pepper Pooch up and they headed over to Dunwich in Billy Bob.


The place was pretty quiet. Perfect for lots of ball throwing.



Furry Mama walked considerably further than Baggy would have chosen. It's not easy walking on pebbles. But Creative Clara was so "in the moment" looking at pretty pebbles and shells, while Pepper hurtled about, that she didn't realise just how far they'd gone!



By the time they'd walked back, they'd been on the beach for nearly three hours! The meaning of mindfulness in a "shell"...............
