I have been wracking my brains trying to come up with today's chitter chatter.
This week has been a great week. And for the last 3 years that is not something I have been able to say. Having a baby, losing a business, renovating and selling a house (to pay off debt from the business). Well, it's been hard.
It felt like living under a blanket, more like a parachute. Sometimes it is all around you, almost suffocating you and other times it is high above you, giving you a sense of relief and breathing space, but still there. Hanging over your head.
For me the devastating part of this was having a small child that you want to have the energy to love, teach and enjoy. But instead it was a struggle to maintain day to day. My marriage, well don't even go there.
So, for the greater good of the family we decided to relocate. I know, why reign more hard work down on ourselves. I wasn't sure that there were enough reserves in my energy bank to make this happen.
5 months in and I am feeling the most myself I have felt in a long, long time. I am not sure that it is to do with the place (I totally love it here), the fact that it is all still new and exciting, the fact that it is warm (is massive for me), or that I am no longer confronted with the hardships that befell us.
All this week has been uplifting and light for me. My son has been a delight, I am relaxed and my husband has been happy at work.
All good.
To top it off we have a 4 day weekend and can rely on the weather for outdoor fun and games.
