Envies de janvier [2021]

13 janvier 2021 Isa8 commentaires

Ce mois-ci, je vais bien avoir besoin de concentration car je dois terminer et relire une traduction, en faire une deuxième très courte et en commencer une troisième (celle que je rendrai au printemps). Je ne doute pas d'y arriver, l'enjeu étant surtout d'y parvenir sans sacrifier trop de sommeil ni mon bien-être physique. Heureusement,… Lire la suite Envies de janvier [2021]

Day 11 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: green. I recently decided I wanted a beautiful pitcher to replace the glass bottles we'd been using. I wish I could tell you I found it in a secondhand store or I brought it back as a holiday souvenir, but the truth is, I bought it from Ikea. So at first it didn't have a story or special memories attached to it. But now it does. Looking at it I can picture an entire summer's worth of meals on the patio, and all the conversations, and the laughter, and the love, and the friendships. Tonight there's a slight chill in the air, the sky is darkening early and almost all the cicadas have gone quiet. We're finally reaching the end of summer. It's been a hard one, and yet I will miss those evenings outside with my people. Endings are always bittersweet, it seems, even those you were eagerly waiting for.
Day 10 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: yellow. This leaf I found in the grass earlier reminded me that my favorite season is coming. I can't wait for fall, and not just because this summer has been very hard and has lasted too long.
Day 9 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: red like the light shining on the face of the man I love as he plays the double bass in his Irish band. Since we met 6 and a half years ago, he has filled my life with music and so much joy and love and I'm a very lucky woman!
Day 8 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: favorite taste. In summer, melon is a favorite of mine. It's sweet and juicy and refreshing, and if I could it'd be the only thing I eat all day! Oh, and I also love figs. I don't have any today - I ate them all 🤣 - but it's peak fig season and I'm in heaven!
Day 7 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: beneath my feet. Most days you'll find me on my yoga mat trying to remain centered and calm in the face of life's challenges. It doesn't always work but, hey, at least, for 20 to 30 minutes I get to breathe deeply and move my body. It's funny how I went from being someone who never exercised to someone who exercises almost daily and yet, instead of congratulating myself for this amazing change, I tend to berate myself for not doing enough. You have to wonder, why are we always so hard on ourselves? So now at the end of my practice, I bow and I say "I'm grateful", because I am. I'm grateful for my body, and for yoga, and for taking the time to do something that's good for me.
Day 06 of the #augustbreak2022 challenge: I am reading Silversong by @silvanhistorian and Wild Card by @liwitchure. I'm also listening to Between Two Kingdoms by @suleikajaouad. I've become someone who reads several books at once. My 10-year old self would be appalled. She who never started a new book unless she had finished the previous one, she who suffered through boring novels because she thought she couldn't give up on a book - it was simply not done, right? - would probably judge me. But she hadn't yet received the best reading advice I've been given so far. A publisher friend once told me: "Life is too short and there are too many good books to waste time on a book you dislike." So true! And also I haven't changed that much: I don't read two novels at the same time, I just divide my time between fiction and non-fiction. What about you? What are your reading habits?
