Simply..carpe diem....

Are you free to seize the day (or even a little tiny bit of it)?

I dropped everything after breakfast to take a sunny walk this morning. The day had started out murky and dull and I was planning to do some plodding tasks which had built up, but suddenly the cloud lifted, the weather changed..

and so did my plans. Plenty of time in the dark evenings to do the paperwork.

I am so thrilled to have this outside my back gate.

I've discovered that the more I move the better I feel.

Especially with the sun on my face.

Looking back up the loch.

and I was so glad I'd taken my chance of a walk in the sun!

Glorious photos. I put off seizing the day, planning to go to the sea in the afternoon, but then the phone rang and I found myself knee deep in glitter with a class of five year olds instead. Not a bad place to be, but I really wish I'd abandoned ship first thing ! Pennyx

So glad you still had fun though - at least the children did!

Beauty sustains me I've always said and to have it all around me is wonderful.

Perfect choice--beautiful walk over boring chores! Wonderful photos--they certainly convey how the walk lifted your spirits. And, yes, you finally had some snow (albeit on the mountains behind you) instead of rain.

Oh my! You made the right decision. Thank you for sharing that magical walk. I'm missing the land of my birth more and more ...

I wonder what the draw is to 'the land of our birth'...

Thank you Freda, for a wonderful (virtual) walk in such amazing surroundings.
Totally agree about seizing the moment (or day!)

I loved this set of winter photos, Freda. We have had some good bright frosty days lately but I think I must get an earlier start, perhaps put an alarm on. Too often I miss the best of the day and then feel full of regrets of the daylight going so quickly. I still need to learn to focus. My head is often full of a thousand and one things I want to do instead of narrowing it down; but yes prioritise the sunshine and walks always! x

We've had so much bad weather I'm not going to miss any of the good! (I do set the alarm..) Focus is hard, but so good.
