@Bipbopbee thanks but that was over a year back. She’s earthside now! (And absolutely magnificent).
@speakout your Monday weekend sounds like bliss, how lovely to be reunited after time apart too. That watery sunrise sounds gorgeous as well.
@Spiritwriter I’m so sorry to read of your losses, always challenging but I can imagine on the back of this year especially so. Go easy with yourself. Re: crying, I say if you have the urge let it out. I think it’s all a part of the process.
@Runningdownthathill does blue have a significant meaning to you? The green triangle jumped out at me because of the visualisation work I had been doing - it felt instantly clear to me that the universe was saying: it’s all going to be ok.
I hope everyone is having an enjoyable week? I felt a bit low with everything at the start of it. I’ve been focusing on getting outside, and staying connected to others, and this has helped enormously. It’s funny, before covid and motherhood, I would have said I didn’t really need others beyond by immediate family. But if this year has taught me anything, it’s that connection and shared experience is actually pivotal to my happiness.
I’ve been in a reflective mood lately. It usually comes later in the year, but I guess I’m feeling ready for a fresh start already! I’ve been thinking about how I want next year to feel (though of course I accept we have very little control!) and I am wishing for a lighter, fun-filled year after the heaviness of this one. One thing I’ve decided to do is join a local women’s wild swimming group. I follow their antics online and it looks like they have the best fun, and what a way to connect with others. I’ve always felt a deep affinity with the sea, too.
I’m feeling throughly refreshed after almost nine hours of sleep (thank you, dear daughter!) just coming around with a coffee and then I’ll walk the dog along the coast. Have a good day all!
