Day 1848 an amazing sunset last night! 🌅

I feel like my lovely Coffee & Quoted friend posted this just for me today. It made me smile.

Progress not perfection. Hits the nail on the head.

I’m pleased to report there have been no tears again today.

It’s been a busy day at work, it flew by. I woke up at 5.25am, got straight up, showered and dressed and sat with my Donna Ashworth, Words to Live By journal.

I’ve decided my word for May is BREATHE.

I need to relax about not feeling great 100% of the time. As Coffee & Quotes said above “progress not perfection”.

I need to let go of thinking that any low mood is all my fault…. That it’s due to something I’m not controlling properly or am doing wrong. I need to stop beating myself up for it.

I pushed myself to do two things yesterday and they both really helped me.

I ran in the morning and then went down to the beach for sunset at night.

I AM SO SO SO GLAD I WENT…..

Ellison (from work) and her sister, Eileen, were down on Seamill Beach at West Kilbride.

I arrived at 7pm.

Low tide is in an hour. The beach here is small at high tide but massive at low tide.

We sit for a bit….

West Kilbride behind us is such a pretty town.

We decide to walk down towards the sea. It’s a good way out.

Selfie!

Turning my phone upside down takes a cool shot.

Ellison and Eileen looking like the head of a giant caterpillar!!

I’m in this one!!

The rocks are covered in green! Don’t step on the green, it’s slippy on the green!

The Isle of Arran looking lovely in the distance.

We went for a wee paddle! It was super cold but after a while, my feet got used to it.

I took upside down photos of the waves. I love how these shots turned out.

We sent a wee selfie to work!

I love this one. The water looks lumpy 😆 I love the kids on the horizon planting on paddle boards.

We’re still walking in the sea!

I spotted a seagull coming and shouted to Eileen to get her phone ready…. I got it!!

These photos just make me smile and they make me breathe. I’m not boasting, I just love how they turn out.

It’s so bright you can’t always see the photo you’re taking and just have to hope for the best.

These are lugworm mounds!

Love this!

It kept getting better.

This rock looks enormous! It’s not that big it only because the phone’s down low.

The sun is sinking behind a bank of cloud.

This was a lovely dog, I got kisses!!

We had a lovely wee fire to end the night.

I had such a lovely time. It was just the perfect evening.

It’s much cooler tonight as way more cloudy!

It’s my weekend now and I’m so looking forward to the break.

Stay safe everyone ☀️☀️☀️
