Today was one of the hottest day's we have had, so far. Summer has definitely arrived. Today has been a busy one, one that I started, with already feeling tired. I went to a shopping centre yesterday with my two eldest girls and it completely exhausted me. I am not made for such places, it's all too overwhelming for me. I managed to go into three shops, but that was my limit. Luckily my girls felt the same and were ready to call it a day and go home. I literally got home and had to just put myself to bed. My youngest was having a sleepover with her best friend, whom we shared land with for 5 years. My two eldest are well able to feed themselves, so I could just chill out.
I have no idea what time I fell asleep at, but it wouldn't have been too late. Unfortunately I didn't feel well rested, when I woke up. I had three jobs on today, all pretty physical and whilst it was hot. Lots of walking and physical labour. My last job, was early evening and although I had a bit of a rough start, I found myself listening to some music, that was coming from the distance.
A wee party, that I knew, some of my favourite people would be at. Then I found myself, having a wee boogie, whilst I was watering the land. The music was calling me, like a siren, I knew I had to go for a little while. When the music is good, I dance, no matter how I am feeling. I always manage to get some energy from somewhere to begin with and then the dancing itself, energises me .
So I found myself, at the party, once I had got my girls sorted at home. It's just a 25 min walk away and by then the day had begun to cool down. I danced, for much longer than I thought I would. About 4 hours in total, which is pretty good going, after the day I had. I left at 2a.m and began my walk home. Happy to have that time to myself in silence, well except from the music that was growing ever distant and also the sound of different animals, both domestic and wild.
As I sit here now, typing this out, my body is a wee bit sore, especially my feet. My wonderful feet, that saw me jumping in the air, as I got lost in the music, not that long ago, are now really happy to finally be put to bed.

Music and dancing can do wonders to us, especially when we need to have some time to ourselves.
I'm glad you went with the music, despite how you were feeling. Sorry about your feet, they'll get better soon.
Finally you got your peace area have fun and let the problems gone
There's nothing like dancing to recharge your batteries. Your feet sure rested happily after that dance therapy 😉. Have a nice weekend.
I'm glad to hear that you had a good time dancing for so long, my friend, and yep, you definitely fit quite a lot in your day. I hope that you rested well. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
