“….happiness comes from appreciating what’s in front of you, not wishing you were doing something else. You find out what life is about by paying closer attention to it, not wishing you were living a fantasy………” Leo Babauta

…….Isn’t that so beautifully true!?
I have been guilty of wishing I lived elsewhere, or was thinner, or richer, or famous……..and then one day…..some time after my 50th birthday……..I finally grew up! Lol!!!:)
I realised that I am so lucky, so blessed and if I take a moment to admit it…..so very happy!
Here I am doing something I have dreamt of all my life – so I’m living my dream 🙂
And this morning I went out bright and early (breakfast rounds for the guests) and do you know, the air is all Spring-ish! Fresh and dewy and heavy with the smell of rain!!
So of course I had to take a look at all the shrubs and yes, new shoots everywhere…..my garden is waking up!!
My cats have all been a bit batty over the last few days, all behaving like crazy kittens..now I know why……Spring Fever 🙂

So now I am off to start clearing out kitty gardens, pruning and digging over that delicious mulchy soil….nearly time to put in new catnip!
Have a wonderful day where ever you are my dears……
Many blessings,
Estelle
