{Because stopping and noticing the best bits is sort of the point...}
Well isn't this all kinds of discombobulating, upside down and down right inside out-feeling?! Posting this weeks #wonderfulwednesday on a THURSDAY of all days! I mean this does nothing for the gal who's eaten the exact same breakfast {chocolate porridge incase you're wondering. I mean as if i even need to tell you that} for coming up to two weeks now and worked the last eight days in a row and rose at the exact same time each morning because of it.
No the world has indeed NOT gone mad, it is I, here with a 'oops i missed the Wednesday part of #wonderfulwednesday but feel all kinds of back to front not writing to you so here we are' kind of a post instead. Confused? I can wholeheartedly sympathise 'cos if i'm honest i haven't really got a clue what day it is this week or even where last week ended and this one begun. BUT there is light! As you read this at 7am {if you're a keen bean} i'll be getting ready for my 'Friday' {AKA last day at work before five whole days off which i am MORE than a little ready for!} and 'end of the week.' Yes, yes i know: A Wednesday without a #wonderfulwednesday which is actually going up on a Thursday which to me is actually a Friday. If i'm befuddled i'm bringing you all down with me....
Simple, straight forward happy list anyone....?
1. Chocolate porridge. Know that I have most likely written this same point
approximately eighty million times on this little corner BUT I’m a
chocolate gal through and through all of the time. If there’s a dessert to be picked,
know that I will always pick the chocolate one. If there’s a flavour to be picked, know that, that
flavour for me will always be chocolate. If there is or was any kind of comfort dish in the whole
and entire world for me….you guessed it: It will in some form or another be chocolatey. SO it
will come as no surprise to you that shooting right to the top of this
utterly exhausted gals ‘Tired Fixing Things to Eat’ list {catchy, no?} is
none other than a ruddy great bowl of chocolate flavoured porridge! And the very best bit is that I have
found….honed if you will; a way to make this chocolatey addiction pretty
much 99% good for me. And
just by always using raw cacao powder {jam packed with so many vitamins
and minerals and a great source of protein SO excellent breakfast fuel}
and a natural sweetner if I need one. I always make my chocolate porridge with raw cacao,
Innocent Hazelnut milk and the ripest, most spottily-sweet banana I can
lay my hands on. Oh and a
great big teaspoon of coconut oil stirred through and topped with hemp seeds,
flax seeds and chai seeds.
Ultimate ‘Fixer.’
Trust me.
4. Cuddles.
Because nothing feeds a sorry little self like a curl up on the
sofa, a light blanket, a mug of something hot and resting your head on
your number one. Am I
right?!?
6. Candle light.
Not out of any dramatic power cut or any kind of romantic intent
either. Born purely from our own
laziness and the fact that the bulb has gone in the lamp in our living-room and
we keep forgetting to replace it.
Nobody wants the put The Big Light on {ho, ho, ho} so instead we’ve been
lighting more candles and curling up in cosy candlelight each evening and I’m
predictably thrilled about it as expected.
7. YOU. And you
and you and YOU. Incase you didn't
see i wrote a mini #wonderfulwednesday type round-up over on Instagram
{www.instagram.com/sallytangle} if i'm honest, because it felt strange not
tip-tapping out a proper post in time for the mid-week. I was very un-prepared for quite how
well it was received and how WONDERFUL everyone's comments and messages have
been because of it. THANK
YOU. I mean i'm very tired and
easily made to cry this week but i am SO grateful for that little online
#wonderfulwednesday and beyond-type community that's sort of grown {?!} over
the past little while and i feel all kinds of lucky and happy because of
it. And especially extra special
thanks is going right out to those gals who join in each week too: Jo, Helen,
Michelle, Sarah, Kate, Cat, Sam, El , Kerri's, and Peta's and Ellie - you make each and every week brighter
and i mean that.
If you made it this far you'll have realised that the text has got bigger. I'm sorry about that. Turns out Blogger hates me. Note to self: Never half-write your #wonderfulwednesday in Microsoft Word thinking that it'll save your sorry self a little time - It wont. And you'll still have mis-matched messy text and a bad head.
Ok i'm
off.....to find a tissue and to maybe also have an early night. TOMORROW IS MY FRIDAY AND I CAN'T WAIT!
Have i mentioned it yet?!?!
Back next Wednesday and already feeling happy about that!

Oh my love you I am so so so happy that today is your friday and you get five whole bloomin' glorious days off. Please do try to rest and recharge and treat yourself with the highest level of care and kindness possible, you deserve it along with all the love in the world.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same when it comes to chocolate anything, it really is a magical flavour! You sheep skin rug sounds every kind of wonderful and yes yes yes to pukka teas, I'm going to pick some more up when I'm in Cornwall in a few weeks time!
Sending ever so much love your way,
