Oh what a perfect day…

24 February 2010 16 Comments

Most days are a mixture of busy, hard, fulfilling, quiet, happy, sad, angry, hopeful, but occasionally, very occasionally there is one day that is the perfect day, it does’t happen often and when it does you need to savour it.

On this day you wake up and feel rested, food tastes a little better than usual, and your hair miraculously looks great with minimal effort.

You visit the shops and all the clothes you try on make you look slimmer, younger, funkier and they’re all on offer, you actually leave the shop feeling like you’ve robbed them blind.

On your perfect day you find a lovely little coffee shop that isn’t at all busy, there are no children and you’re able to sit for an age sipping coffee and reading the amazing book that just happened to be poking out of the shelf just by where you where walking. As you sit and ponder this coming together of the universe to create this perfect day your favourite song plays on the radio. With a hop, skip and a jump you return to your perfect little family and have a lovely dinner and go to bed feeling immensely happy.

Monday was a perfect day.

A day to savour and enjoy, because most days are a mixture of busy, hard, fulfilling, quiet, happy, sad, angry, hopeful…

    What an absolutely perfect day! Am very jealous, and i’m not sure if its over the shopping, lack of children, great hair or just waking up feeling rested

    Nope. I’ve picked my brain and I’ve never had a day like that….except maybe our safari breakfast with Daisy Duck et al xx

    Oh, I dream about sitting in a bookshop, childfree, sipping coffee. Still dreaming. It’ll come one day.

    …perfect days are created when we seek out the best vibes of the day….ignoring the worst. Easy to do? rarely, but when you do, perfect!

    Family Affairs – The safari after was pretty good, would love to do the real thing one day

    One day Rosie :)

    Interesting ethos Tracey, so there’s a perfect day out there everyday – it’s our job to find it. Nice :)

    That is perfect, and beautifully written. You know we don’t even have a proper book shop in my town. So so sad. I used to love it when you could go into Boarders, grab a book and begin it in Starbucks. Heaven.

  • Little Mummy said:

    Borders were the best, I go to Waterstones now.
