This moment is as it should be – Malta

Six weeks in Malta… 

I’m usually starting my day at 8am with a 10 min walk around Piazza Tigne with my dogs; then I prepare breakfast and re-watching some old-fashioned crime tv shows (right now, it is Midsomer Murders with the Chief Inspector Barnaby). After that, I always go out for a coffee – I need a break, lol – with my dogs! After visiting the local café, we walk down to the sea and stroll back home around Tigne Point.

 I’m reading or doing some house chores. Lunch is always outside. Don’t forget the shopping adventure after lunch – it’s a must (I always need something: fresh fruits, dog snacks, makeup, etc.). Of course, I take my dogs out again because lunch and shopping usually take 2,5-3 hours. Next: we all rest before dinner. Dinner is at home. Finally, a walk in the evening before a cup of tea and the movie (I’m currently watching “Hierro” – a Spanish crime thriller – via Cmore. Breathtaking views! ). Zzzz at 10 pm. 

 In between: I’m studying Spanish 2 times a week: Tuesday and Thursday (a group of 7), and French – with a private tutor. Plus, yin yoga class daily for 30 min. 

What else? Ah, books. I finished reading: Exiles, by Jane Harper; Buddhism is not what you think, by Steve Hagen; The Body Keeps the Score, by Bessel van der Kolk; Ayurveda: a practical guide to optimal health, healing and vitality, by Geeta Vara; Soul Work (in Swedish), by Josefin Dahlberg.

Week 9 and 10 (or March 2-12) I’m reading: Ageless Body, Timeless Mind, by Deepak Chopra; The Girls who Disappeared, by Claire Douglas.

I’m also often using affirmations cards (from Josefin Dahlberg) in the morning because it sets my mood for the day and makes me look at things from a positive (or pragmatic, practical) side. And today’s reading was: 

If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. If you don’t, you’ll find an excuse.

Dammit! It’s so true. Let’s look above: we can see many excuses not to write or blog… but they aren’t excuses, not really… well, I just don’t want to write. Not yet.

Hope you are OK. Take care of yourself!
Have a great weekend! Hugs!
