Happy adoption day to my perfect girl! ♥️ Ten years with this queen -- we are lucky subjects, indeed.

It's the kiddo's tenth birthday, and I feel like a very lucky mama indeed. ♥️

The world is a fairly big ol' mess at the moment, I realise; but I am feeling enormously grateful for life in this fabulous city.

Took a much needed break from the news and headed to a small group class at my happy place: HotPod Chester. Good for the body and the mind. ☺️

In a world of M*sks and Tr*mps, be a Jimmy Carter.

Image text: “Earlier in my life, I thought the things that mattered were the things that you could see, like your car, your house, your wealth, your property, your office. But as I’ve grown older I’ve become convinced that the things that matter most are the things that you can’t see—the love you share with others, your inner purpose, your comfort with who you are."

Just ensured our young visitor made it safely onto his bus to London. Now enjoying a lovely (quiet) coffee at Arista before I head over to Hotpod to stretch and sweat it out. I do love this new home city of mine. #sigh #chester #hotpodyoga

'tis the season. 😉

Happy December, y'all.

(My feelings about Christmas are mixed. My feelings about twinkly lights are not. 😉)

So much I have to be grateful for. And, today, I will focus on that.

Happy Thanksgiving, y'all.

I am absolutely done for today. . . just one of those that was hard to get through. But, I made it. Now, I am hoping to chill as well as my boy here. . . . 😉
