that was the prediction of the bbc weatherman earlier today about the coming night.i am not one to really feel the cold but today i certainly have. we have closed the curtains in our living room against the cold windows and as i sit and type this the sky has passed from duck to full dark and a large, solitary cloud drifted overhead, heading west.
tonight will be a night to sit curled up with a good book in front of the fire and later, take the book to bed with a nice chamomile and honey tea.
i have been spending the past two nights going to bed early with my copy of miranda greens 'the world of the druids'~what a great read.
today i made it round to visiting all your blogs and i loved the post at boho moms blog~the year of the sock monkey
which took me here to christine
so what is my word for this year?
Release!
~oh yes~
its time to release myself of all the old baggage holding me back and clouding my mind...
its time to release myself from those odd ocd moments that held back my impulses...
its time to release myself from the niggles and doubts...
its time to release my creativity...
its time to release my soul totally upon my path, not allowing the thoughts and opinions of others to cloud what i know to be right for me...
*it feels good to write this down and have it as a focus for the coming months, and just a single word to remember moment to moment as i go through my day*

It's bitterly cold here as well, must get out my copy of Miranda Green's book, Trouble is I'm also reading Wild Food by Ray Mears, Wildwood by Roger Deakin and The Real Middle Earth by Brian Bates!! It would be useful to have two of me - one to read books and the other to do all the other stuff:)
Ooooo it's chilly isn't it, your day sounds so cosy. We're having a mummy and Twiglet day tomorrow, which involves mostly keeping warm and making/baking/playing as he's doing a full day at nursery on Wednesday for the first time -argh!!!!
I LOVE your word for the year and love what you've written on your blog. We do hold ourselves back worrying about what others think I know I do, must try harder Twiggy ;) My word must be ACTION, this year, less talking ,more doing, then again.............

I think release is a great word! I am wishing you great success with it...:)

2009, the year of release. Beautiful. I'm imagining your spirit released from all bonds holding her back and expressing herself joyfully, playfully, fully, passionately, creatively, lovingly this year!
What a beautiful response to the cold of the day, with coziness, rest and time for yourself. Yummy.
What a great idea and I love your word. I must think I need a word too.
