Day 10 - Let it be...

Today I took some time to just let myself just be. Not do anything for the last few hours of the day except absorb my beautiful surrounds as the crunchy autumn leaves dropped, the golden sunshine twinkled away and the birds happily alighted nearby trees. I’d been inside studying all day, working on an assignment for my postgraduate program. The Bandycoot reminded me that it was a beautiful day, why wasn’t I out enjoying it?

Being a memorial day I took some time in the evening to just reflect on the madness of war and the sadness of all those young lives lost, while listening to some 40s-50s ragtime jazz on my old record player. I realised how grateful I am to enjoy the life and the freedoms that I do.
