Late summer, early fall

I have spent a lot of time recently at our cabin in the woods. It is so nice and peaceful there, and a short walk to the ocean. So I felt I really made the most of the summer this year and am ready for autumn. I would meditate every day for one hour, doing both the breathing exercises and the Headspace app. I got back into doing yoga on the veranda! It’s my favourite thing. I love it when the sun is warming my body while I stretch. We made food and went swimming every day. The water grew cooler while I was there, but it was always refreshing and made me happy. After the swim, we drank tea and had some chocolate caramels. In the evenings, we watched old episodes of Colombo, and after that I went to bed. I slept in my little house in the garden, and I loved going to bed there at night. I read Ann Patchett’s State of Wonder and journaled before bed. The sky was dark with lots of stars.
