Sunshine in my soul and a slice of lemon in my glass ☀️🌿💜🍋

For me, there's something wonderful about kicking off the day with a dash of sunshine in your soul and a slice of lemon in your glass. It's a simple, seemingly insignificant pleasure (even though it seems like nothing more than a boring routine to other people) which I like to do on the daily that sets a great beginning for any day to be filled with good vibes and creative abundance - not to mention that lemon has some pretty awesome benefits too, but you probably already knew that. Anyway, as I sipped my magic lemon water and looked outside, I decided to take my feet for a morning adventure by the river to contemplate what creative shenanigans I could get up to for the day.

Its such a beautiful place to take a stroll and there is definitely something particularly precious about walking alongside water. The sound alone is enough to fill a person with all the happy feels!! To me it is always the perfect way to refill my creative cup.. I absolutely love getting creative on Sundays… well, any and all days actually, but especially Sundays! They hold a certain quiet magic. As I walked, I was thinking about all the ways I could get my creative on - writing (check 😁), paint something? or maybe even jump into the unknown by trying something I have never done before, even though I have no idea what that could or would be…

Getting outside in the fresh air and sunshine always boosts my energy and inspiration levels, and the time I spend there, wandering inside my head as well as outside in the world are both strong reminders that I have the choice to make something beautiful and meaningful with this day and any other day for that matter.

Back home now, I feel super duper and am excited and ready to get stuck into the untouched hours of this day. No matter what I choose to do… writing a poem (I do that sometimes, although they're mostly no good), thinking up a new recipe from whatever stuffs I have lying about in the pantry and fridge, or simply rearranging a room (that is always loads of fun and a great way to revive the energy in a space too), I know that there are absolutely countless ways I can find to express myself and have fun… and they all benefit me regardless.

Probably a month ago I picked up a canvas at the local art store but have not done anything with it yet. Sometimes I get an idea of what i would like to paint but then the moment passes and so does my mood and I dont want to do that anymore, so it ends up standing there with me staring at it blankly for weeks on end hehe! I think I might spend some time planning that canvas today and perhaps even start working on it, before my mood changes again 😂 I have a few ideas tucked up my sleeve now, thanks to my little meander by the river.

It's always interesting to learn how people choose to spend there free time on the weekend. What is it that you like to do mostly?

I hope you all have an enjoyable and creative Sunday too, whatever you get up to.
