A day out - to do just as I please. A loose plan at the beginning of the day to meet up with a meditation group for an hour of stillness. It worked beautifully. I felt quite light and full of freedom to celebrate mty unplanned day of creativity. I had brought my sketch book, some art supplies and my camera. The camera took precedence as it could capture the beauty of the day so much more aptly than my laborious artwork.
No fixed plans. Just follow my instinct. A bit of a wander along a path, through the coastal scenery. Stop. Study people. Listen to snatches of conversations. Dream. Imagine. Wonder. Have no plan. No adgenda.

After several hours of wandering, taking artistic photographs along the way, it was time to move on. To a shopping precinct I had not been to in all of my 25 years in Sydney. Always one on the "must go there sometime..." list, but always postphoned til the day was right. Ahhhh! Lovely. An icecream was next on my list. So I was directed to a French Ice Creamery. There, I was like a child in a lolly shop. I decided on a cup with 2 scoops of icecream, cream, chocolate sauce and sprinkled with nuts. All for just $6.50. Such a treat. This was a last celebration before my diet and exercise plan would impose its presence on my life tomorrow.

I finished the day in a healthy-lifestyle shop. Full of all things healthy and organic. And after wandering the isles, decided that music would be what was needed. So an ethereal chanting goddess made her way into my CD player to serenade me all the way home. I did not notice all the traffic congestion - I was really enjoying this new music which lasted until I drove in to my driveway @ #23.
