Morning , blogland :) Mira's blogging from maclappy on the kitchen table today, wrapped in sarong as heatwave continues :) Bliss. I love the heat and the sun - makes such a difference to overall well- being. Simply cannot stress when it is hot. Pace of life is slower- you make it slower cos you simply can't be bothered to move faster.

I so VALUE my free time, and being able to live laugh and laugh and love in the rhythm of my soul. Precious. Tons of gratitude for that.:yes:

The downside of this is, of course lack of funds and having to constantly think of new , pleasurable and easy ways to make ends meet. Necessity IS the mother of invention. In many ways , I think it has forced and encouraged me to find creative solutions to problems, like making a dress for the wedding and finding comfy shoes for 10 pounds in the market as well as gorgeous Pakistani shawl for 8 pounds ( or was it 5 ? ) from the market in Bradford.

I was so inspired by blue2pink post about camping out in cave, fishing and grilling fish for supper , and enjoying nature one- to- one.*respect*

Sometimes I would love to just walk into a shop , Pretty Woman style and have someone find me the perfect outfit, but then, it probably wouldn't be me. What would happen to the hippy chic ? ;)

There are basics that I hope I will always have:
Freedom
A sense of well- being
Friends
beautiful surroundings; being able to see beauty in things
Comfy bed and home
Clean, hot and cold running water on tap
Food
Internet or pen and paper
clothes and comfy footwear

:wave:

What are your basics ? your absolute essentials ?
