Had my coffee.Did our bed. Prepared the girls' packed lunch. They had breakfast. He went to work and then I accompanied the girls to their 1-day retreat. Migros ( grocery store) then cycled my way back home.
Next, there's breakfast. I fought the urge to check my phone. The lull of some minutes to be filled by something..anything. However, I opted to be quiet and just be.
It is so easy to be distracted. There are my to-do list, the messages to be sent, the agenda to be filled and hundred other things to do. Instead, I savor my coffee, enjoying the scent of the bread coming from the toaster. Now, spreading the honey and putting the slices of cheddar cheese on top of it and it was heaven! That few minutes to just sit and enjoy the breakfast, to just look outside and contemplate about how the cheese reminded me of my childhood. Of how bizarre my breakfast is. Still, I love cheese.
And it's autumn. Cold and most of the time overcast and raining. But the nature has this thing of uplifting spirits. Not just the changing colors of my surroundings but also its silence.
Outside some greens are turning into a beautiful hue of yellow.
