Everything went wrong and then everything went right. I’m back again but it will be a slow return.

Thank you for popping by, thank you for your messages, for your support and understanding. I had to step back from blogging, social media, and YouTube as I was burned out, chronic pain and fatigue, personal/family worries, and I literally just felt terribly unhappy (not that anyone would have known).

Stepping back from it all, from any extra pressures outside trying to maintain my job/livelihood, enabled me to think, to rest more, to have less to cope with and things began to feel a bit better a few weeks ago. I could see that beautiful dappled sunlight between the boughs of the trees.

As Autumn has arrived, I feel excitement and hope for the future again instead of focusing on negativity and worrying about everything. I LOVE the cool, crisp air, the rain, the autumn sunlight, the orange, red and brown leaves falling and the squirrels returning to the garden.

And just when things were starting to feel more positive, a few weeks ago we had big changes at work and I felt for a few moments that everything was going to come crashing down. I won’t go into detail but after a few unsettled weeks, yesterday I signed a contract for a new role within the company, for a position I really wanted as a “Digital Learning and Engagement Specialist”. The role will bring with it challenging times (for me) but it is exactly what I wanted to be doing.

And with that, this morning I stepped out into the sunlight, into a beautiful autumn day, and walked to my favourite coffee shop, bought a loaf of sourdough, drank coffee, and wrote in my journal while watching the world walk on by and I felt happy, calm and I smiled.

Love to all, C xxxx

COMMENT 6/10/2024

Thank you all for your lovely comments, I did so enjoy reading them all just now xxxx I’ll ease myself back into posting more regularly here and on YouTube but I probably won’t be back into doing videos until nearer Christmas as they are time consuming and I know the next month or two will be very busy with the new role and with doing my diploma too. I do appreciate you taking the time to make me smile xxx

Have a wonderful Sunday, C xxxx
