Monday Morning

Sometimes we just need to unplug. We can get so wrapped up in the politics and frustrations of work life and the turmoil of everything else that sometimes we simply can't breath - but on monday morning do yourself a favour. Set the alarm for about 4, earlier if you can stand it and go outside, hopefully where there is little light pollution and just look up.

First thing you will notice is that there is no moon, This is a good thing - and then you should begin to see dozens and dozens of shooting stars. If you are lucky enough to be in the Southern hemisphere it will be even more. what you will see is the remnants of Halleys' Comet, well bits of it bouncing, across our atmosphere.

Take your kids out with you, rent them or borrow them if you don't have any. And just look. Take a blanket and lie on the ground, with fresh coffe and a big sweater.

And while you do try some communicating with yourself. You might like what you hear.

Although the din of the dawn chorus, now in full voice, might make it a bit tricky to hear yourself think but will probably make even better.

Just enjoy.... its a day off anyway so you can go back to bed.
