So there I was walking on Mudjimba Beach, umbrella in hand, peering out over the slow misty waves at Old Woman Island. It was one of those wow moments in life when everything just feels pretty darn perfect. A cool autumn morning, black clouds overhead, cold wind, empty beach.
When the rain started, it came down hard and at a forty-five degree angle. From behind. I was wearing an old dirty jumper that I found in the boot of the car, rolled up jeans and a pair of un-waterproof canvas slip-ons that quickly became two sandy ponds for my feet.
By the time I got to the café across the road for some lunch, I was squelchy and cold and drenched from the waist down. I ordered tomato soup with toasted panini. Sitting there shivering and wet, scoffing down the soup like I’d been trudging the sahara for yonks I thought to myself: now this is a good day. And it was.
Attitude is everything, peeps. Find pleasure in discomfort. Seize the joy.
Dollops of happiness to you all xx
