Pie for Breakfast

The day after Christmas is always a somber one. I woke this morning to arise to a new gorgeous day with snow that fell so softly on the roof of our house, but also covered the streets with a glistening sheet of white, white, white!

The holidays gives you time to rest, relax and sleep in or simply do whatever your little heart desires. It always us to reflect on the year behind us, enjoy company with family, enjoy food until we couldn't possibly fit anymore into our wide bellies! I love the holidays and I love that this is how life should be all of the time.

We have to and must believe in the spirt of xmas, what it really means! We should always help others, smile, do something unselfish, give something up that you really, really enjoy just so that you understand how much you really, really love it!!! All of these things are so important to keep us above water, to not drown in the insanity that is somethings consuming (if we allow that in our lives). The trick is to take the best feelings of your life and try to feel this every day of your life.

I woke this morning after a late night of old movies with Barbara Streisand, that really put a smile on my face and made me laugh, laugh, laugh! I don't think I was up before 11am which some would say is an outrage, but for me its a simple luxury to enjoy a lazy morning, a chat with my mom and most of all the best part of this day was that I enjoyed pie for breakfast. Warm apple pie, homemade sprikled with the most delicate spice of cinnamon to add flavour to the juicy, gorgeous, perfect apples. The crust was perfectly flaky and the taste was just devine. Why not have pie for breakfast, who says we can't? Well, we can have whatever we want; whenever we want as long as its in proportion and we are looking after ourselves.

I hope that this wonderful day, the day after xmas has been one of simple pleasure for you and if you have had a difficult day; take time out this evening, now and look at the gorgeous sky above, the bright stars which shine without a care in the world, but just to be! Sit on the beach, sit in the snow, sit on a mountain or float on the sea to look up above and forget about everything for one simple minute to just 'be' and enjoy that moment for pure peace!

Enjoy the holidays and don't forget to induldge in your pie for breakfast :)
