Contentment is

Good day dear readers, I've had an early start today, but I've done so with a smile on my face. I am off to Stellenbosch this morning as I embark on my last family visit before I become a mommy. After this trip my doctor is less likely to grant me permission to fly and will my next visit only be after the arrival of our little prince.

I am in such high spirits today - work is off to a good start for the new year, the charity ball arrangements are going really well, the baby room is finally getting the attention it needs (I promise to do a post on this), my first baby essential was delivered yesterday - the car seat! - and things seem to be falling into place :).

Last night the husband and I had a lovely dinner - something we can easily neglect when on holiday with the family, so I assume this is part of my feelings of contentment today.

Life can so easily rush past and we can too easily forget to stop, breath, appreciate and see all that is beautiful around us! My last few months of working from home and having a bit more time to do these things have made me realise how important they are - our lives will be over in an instant and someday it will be better if you can tell stories of wonderful adventures and experiences instead of the races of getting things done, gulping down take away food and sprinting to the next meeting - perhaps today you must think about what is important and reassess what it is that you want (Perhaps a little deep for so early in the morning, but this is something that was pressing on my heart when I sat down to write this post)

May you have a lovely day and a splendid week dear reader!
