Letting Go and Opportunity


I realise I have missed a few days and am playing catch up but I am also weary of repeating myself or going on about the same thing. The truth is our current situation is taking up most of my thinking time. I am trying hard for it not to dominate my thoughts so please bear with me in the meantime, thanks x

Responsible

Through the events of the last few months I have been worrying about the effect it has had on the boys and how I am going to cope with everything on my own. Selfishly, I haven't really given much thought to my husband. His life now is a walk in the park in comparison to mine. He only has himself to look after (and his Step Mum does most of that for him) so I have just brushed off any comments he has made about struggling with this. Coz his battle can't be as bad as mine, right?!

August Moon Day 5



Yearnings...
Have you developed new yearnings this year and let go of the old ones?

Decorating Progress



Last month I wrote a post about all the things I planned to do with my time off over the summer. I have just read that post again and realised it was slightly more optimistic that I thought at the time! I have been back at work for a week or two now and I thought I would share with you what I actually managed to achieve in that time.

Which Word?


What word did you choose as your travelling companion in 2013? How is it working for you? Where have the surprises been?

If you didn’t choose a guiding word, what word sums up your year so far? And why?

Counting My Blessings


At times it is very easy to get caught up in all the negativity going on around you. Some times it can change your whole perspective if you take a few minutes just to look at the positive things in your life. There are some. There are always some. Even if it is the sun shining, seeing your favorite flower, hearing from a friend or buying some chocolate. There is always something to make you smile. Sometimes you may just need to look a bit harder than others.

Blue Moon

These things only happen once in a blue moon...

There are about 12 lunar cycles in a year. A lunar cycle is 29 days long. In our Gregorian calendar there are 12 months in a year and generally one full moon each calendar month. As a month is longer than a lunar cycle, these extra days accumulate so every 2 or 3 years there is an extra full moon. When this happens there are two full moons in a calendar month instead of one. It is the second full moon of the month that is called the Blue Moon. Traditional Folklore named each of the years twelve moons according to the time of year so the extra moon was called the blue moon so the rest of the moons retained their traditional names.

Singledom

I was making some sandwiches earlier and clumsily, I dropped the knife. Instinctively, I jumped back to avoid the falling blade and yelped. Luckily, it clattered noisily down between the oven and the cupboard so I remained unscathed. Normally if there is a loud bang and a shout in the house, someone asks if you're ok. Today, my yelp was met with silence.

My Blog

I love my blog. It feels like an old friend now. Like a cosy pair of slippers molded to the shape of your feet. I miss talking to it and telling it my news, so I am going to visit more often. I am amazed at how many of you wonderful people still check in to see how we are. I really, truly appreciate that more than you know. Things have been really tough lately and it has been a real support knowing you are all there even though I may not have had the strength to respond. Thank you xx
