I was so busy yesterday, but all good stuff...don't you love days like that? Managed to get most of my chores done before the dog sitter arrived and then it was off out to meet a lovely friend for coffee and a chin wag. Got back, gave the Puggies their lunch, sat down for a… Continue reading Perfect Day…

When Life Gives You Lemons…
Actually...I made a conscious decision to buy them lol I haven't made my own lemonade for years, since the kids were little. I know its really a summer thing, but yesterday I needed to be reminded that summer will come, and the yellow of the lemons cheered me up a little bit. I followed a… Continue reading When Life Gives You Lemons…
Where the Heart Is
They say "home is where the heart is" because home should be the place where you feel safe, comfortable, calm...like a big hug in a fluffy blanket every time you walk in the door. But what if its not? What if home raises your anxiety levels? Thats the position I now find myself in ☹️… Continue reading Where the Heart Is
Doctor Doctor
So far my self care journey seems to have been weighted heavily towards my mental health more than my physical health. Thats probably because I know I cant actually change the physical problems I have. You cant cure Psoriatic Arthritis, and doing small things that make me feel better mentally, helps me deal with the… Continue reading Doctor Doctor
Cross Stitch
I stumbled across an article the other day by Gloria Wickman, where she says that cross stitch helped "develop my creativity and self discipline". So yesterday I dug out one of my cross stitch kits (I've got a few, but most are in storage). After all, I could do with developing my creativity, and my… Continue reading Cross Stitch
Changing The World
I was brought up with a volunteering background. My Grand-Dad was running a community centre into his 80's with no wage and had been doing similar work since WWII. So when my children went to secondary school I took on my first volunteering role and trained as a Samaritan. Since then i've been a committee… Continue reading Changing The World
My “Everyday” Notebook
I have notebooks for specific things...a daily journal, a writing notebook (for story ideas, writing tips and advice i've picked up - like a commonplace book)), a fiction writing notebook, a writing diary/journal (where I whinge and moan about my writing projects) and a daily planner. But I also carry a small, rather tatty notebook… Continue reading My “Everyday” Notebook
Freedom from FaceBook
I think I may have finally kicked my FaceBook addiction! I realised quite recently that I was spending about 2 hours a day on social media, mainly FaceBook...WTF???? Do I want to live my life like that? Do I want FaceBook to be the first thing I do when I wake up and am drinking… Continue reading Freedom from FaceBook
Hot Chocolate
Going with the whole theme of a hug in a mug this week (in a feeble attempt to shift this bloody cold which still has me bunged up and unable to sleep at night), yesterday I made myself a cup of hot chocolate. I'm not really a fan of hot chocolate...its not something you will… Continue reading Hot Chocolate
My Bucket List
Yesterday I sat down and tried to write my bucket list...again lol. I had one, years ago, and I even knocked a few items off that list. But its been a while since i've even thought about it. Having a Bucket list can improve your life (apparently), and I have to admit, I really enjoyed… Continue reading My Bucket List
