I know perfection doesn't exist although near perfect surely does and that's what yesterday was for me.
From the moment I woke up, later than usual because I slept in, to the moment I climbed into bed later that night the day went from good to better to even better and the really beautiful thing was that none of it was planned; the day unfolded like a flower opening to the first warming rays of the sun on a crisp morning but instead of releasing a beautiful scent it released beautiful moments, happiness, a deep sense of contentment and joy all wrapped up neatly within the moments of time.
I had the day off work and was expecting to spend it with somebody who is also so far away from perfect it's crazy but I love him and all of his imperfections - and he does the same in return - but he was called away at the last minute; I was not happy. It ruined what I had planned for the day so after I woke, he had left in the very small hours of the morning, I had a whole day of nothing planned.
I made a late breakfast, played with my cat, read some of my book, colored in with pencils a little bit and chose to ignore all the constructive things I could have been doing like housework and catching up on business paperwork.
I watched a movie on Netflix and drank some coffee which I coupled with the last piece of lemon poppyseed cake I'd made few days earlier and then listened to some music for a few hours while arranging flowers I'd cut from my garden into vases to scatter around my house. I ate dinner, watched some of a series I'm currently obsessed with, took a bubble bath then went to bed to chat on the phone with my guy who had traveled away for work. Sleep claimed me soon after.
This wasn't the day I had planned, not even close, but it really was a lovely day spent at home in comfort; I wasn't about to let the disappointment of my plans being ruined to ruin my day and it felt so lovely and nurturing.
I believe that sort of feeling, of belonging and being cocooned in a comforting, welcoming and familiar place, is something that can soothe the soul like no other. Home is not somewhere I ever get tired of being, my home holds me and hugs me in a comforting embrace. It's a warm and welcome embrace that makes me feel good down to my center, but it's not as good as the one I get from my guy; I'm looking forward to that when he comes home.
Here's three of the songs out of the many I listened to during the day.
It seems to have been, despite being off plan, a relaxing day doing quiet things that you enjoy. An unhurried day with no schedule and that's good. Maybe it's not absolutely perfect, you were missing someone but those spaces with yourself are also nice from time to time. You describe that day and I loved it! I really liked it a lot. Painting is an activity I'm taking up again and it makes me happy.
Beautiful songs all of them, I liked the first two the most.
A big hug Becca.💗
Have you created many days like this for yourself? I think it's important to look after oneself physically and also emotionally and mentally and it's days like this which help me to do that. I do it in other ways as well but a day like this one now and then is always welcome.

I think I should create more of those days, I need more of them. It's nice and healthy. Thank you!💗
From your description, I can tell you had a lovely day❤️.
What you do at free time matters a lot, it's beautiful to read how well you managed yours.
Greetings 🤗
I hope you've had many such days yourself.
