The smell of my t-shirt.
Lily and Louise were back!

The dangling leaves in the overgrown archway.
Some quiet, calm reserves work.

Running for a lot longer on my run to work.
Realising the quiet women were shy, not uninterested.

Making Will laugh.
Being calm and ready for Sunday.
Naked male feet, enjoying the sun at lunch time. Not something I’d usually enjoy but it made me happy to see toes enjoying the warmth towards the end of September.
Feeling calm about Sunday. Walking around in the sun, putting up posters slowly and not feeling stressed.
An evening on the sofa with a book, apple and peanut butter and a teapot of green tea.

Women sharing their love letters to their vulvas.
Giving myself time to put everything away calmly and as slowly as I wanted.
Smiling in the Uber on the way home, feeling proud of myself for raising another £302 for Bloody Good Period and for bringing sex and vulva positivity to another room of people.
Self love life drawing. Drawing. And being drawn.
Doing a second pose that wasn’t so scrunched up.
Letting myself walk calmly down Oxford St.
This tree, looking almost in flames in the afternoon sun.
Doing the crow for the first time in yoga!
An afternoon of slow shopping for healthy ingredients for food that will hopefully make me happier. I felt really calm and grown up and happy. And discovering the bulk buy store was incredible.
Being out in the garden. Putting my sunflowers outside and planting up some runner beans. Hanging my washing on the line.
The drumming at the park.
That smell of summer. Having the windows wide open. Feeling the warmth of the sun. Lying in the park reading my book. It was a good day. It was a calm and peaceful day.
Realising I had a whole heap of reasons to be happy today. Feeling really calm and happy. No housemates, no real day plans, being organised and peaceful. Getting my fingers in the dirt again.
Going to visit Holly and Al’s new flat. It’s beautiful. And Al telling funny, long stories about making the perfect coffee.
Alec and Ciaran at Doug’s party. Those two make me laugh heaps. HEAPS.
Licking out the bowl for the chocolate cake mixture at work.
Being told my haircut really suits me. Which is nice because you always feel a bit self conscious after you chop it all off.
My colleague saying I’m an oasis of calm and react well in stressful situations. Which made me laugh because that’s not how anyone back home would describe me. The meditation must be working!
