I got a phone call this morning that my classes today have been cancelled because so many of my students have the flue - I´m sorry they´re ill but that means I HAVE A FREE DAY!!!!!
Erich bought me a new magazine yesterday so I had time to let it work it´s magic on me, it´s full of beautiful colour, furniture and lots of ideas for sewing projects - WONDERFUL!
I had a loooong breakfast with honey on toast, coffee and fresh orange juice and then spent the morning sewing and checking blogs. It feels unusual to be home on a Wednesday, like I´m doing something forbidden!
I must try to live like this all the time, every minute of this day seems like a gift, a moment to be savoured, I can see the beauty all around me so clearly and it feels great! I FEEL GREAT!

Hi Claudia! I guess over there in Austria most of your wednesday is over now, and I hope it was delightful.
Here's a great Spanish proverb: How beautiful it is to do nothing and then rest afterwards!
Wednesday is just getting started here. Funny to think of like that -- like the daylight that is just peeking in the windows is hand-me-down daylight, already used by you. But in a good way!

Fantastic! Isn't found time the best! I'm so glad you got some precious moments to savour and with magazine treats to boot!
Very sad to have ILL students but I can imagine the RELIEF at getting the day off!! I hope you had a great one!
Hope you're enjoying your free day! And (furtive whisper) I can't see why you couldn't joing the sew-a-long!
I use to feel the same way when I taught high school. I loved when school closed for the flu but the time off just oozed with extra joy because it was so delightfully unexpected!
Fabulous! Those days are so juicy. I remember sitting around the kitchen table when I was a kid and hoping for a snow day. I also remember when I was a teacher hoping for the same thing. Reclaimed days are such a treasure! Hope you feel replenished!
P.S. I tried to email you but i don't think it worked!
