A couple of weeks ago I struggled and struggled big time. After Jonnie got home from a few days away my mind and body really found it difficult to re set itself from just survivor mode. But by the weekend and some ‘free time’- he let me just leave the house when needed to go see my sisters and cousin and just be out- I felt SO much more like a human again.

The weekend was spent together and enjoying our time as a family and seeing some family and friends. It just made me feel so much better and seriously rejuvenated that the sun was shining! It helped that it was the start of half term too. Yay!!

I looked forward to the week ahead and our plans. The sun has kept shining and we have been out and enjoyed the park two of the days.

House work and just relaxing on other days. Jonnie took a day off and we got some needed family time to just hang out. Lauren had a blip in her health but it didn’t last long and then on Friday She and I ditched the baby for a girl day. She was SO excited and was adamant we did not miss Wyatt 😂 I might have agreed 😉 I love that little dude but my heart needed a Lauren day💜💜. It was so lovely and easy and we shopped, we baked, I cooked, we went for lunch. It was so good. The thing I noticed about Lauren is that when we made buns, she immediately began telling me who they were for. She didn’t keep more than 1 for herself, she wanted to hand them out to the family. So we did. She’s such a special little girl.

The weekend was spent together again and we got to spend time with some friends that Lauren adores-as do we, before a few crazy weekends arise for me. It’s just amazing that we have had, albeit short lived, some fresh brightness and cool crisp breeze, the things of late spring and it’s only February.

A couple of weeks ago I felt polar opposite to how I do now. And isn’t that just the variety and spice of life. Nothing lasts forever. Hold on. Hope on. And just enjoy the good when it comes your way. Enjoy it fully. And know that all those bad days will always be a distant memory when you get to be around those you love doing what you love. That’s life. It’s funny like that.
