I've just noticed that my last post was about getting up at the crack of dawn and here I am getting up at 3.15am, way before dawn! I'd like to clarify that I am NOT a morning person at the best of times, but just sometimes I make the sacrifice.
Today's reason was the annual Darkness into Light in remembrance of all those who have lost their lives to suicide and also to raise funds for Pieta House who support people who are in danger of suicide or self-harm.
I was delighted to find out this week that there was a walk arranged in the local area and I wouldn't have to get up even earlier to head into Mullingar to take part.
I dragged myself out of the bed and headed up to Rathwire church car park to begin. I honestly didn't know how many people would be there and was hoping I wouldn't be the only one.
Of course I wasn't. Good old community spirit.
Off we set out the village and along the canal. I've been doing walks along the canal for years and today I discovered a new one. Just goes to show there's always something new to discover even in familiar places.
anyway, walk was fabulous at that hour. We were "blessed with the weather!" Having the chats as we went along meant that we didn't feel either the time or the distance.
Would I catch up on my ironing?
Would I wash the kitchen floor?
Would I plan my meals for the week?
Nah! I went back to bed and slept until noon!
