Taking care.

June 8, 2014 by

This was a weekend for reasserting myself and regrouping.

Taking down time to be outside and enjoying the fragments of beauty I have in my space.

Spending time with myself and chewing over what isn’t right at the moment. Building some friendships.

I’ve run a lot. I passed a milestone today in running 24/26 minutes, a 12 minute, 8 minute and 4 minute chunk.

Enjoying the children as exam pressures begin to ease, schools become happier and little boys get well again.

I realised I am extremely tired and that I don’t function well – still – when one of them is ill.

I realised I need to take more care of myself and communicate more.

I realised I need to make lists of what needs doing and what I want to achieve.

Thank you for all the lovely comments. I will respond and I’m grateful. They helped xxx

    It sounds like a lovely (and much needed) weekend.

    I have been thinking (and worrying) about you lately. But my words leave me short. So I end up silent.

    Be kind to yourself my dear. Like Angela said, you are a woman that I look up to.
    That I aspire to be like in any way that I can.

    I hope that things can be set to rights for you. xoxo

      There isn’t nearly enough time with a house full of small people, that is for sure.
