A new year!
A new year!
Despite everything, I am excited.
A fresh new start. No more going down the same tracks. No more self-pity.
Instead, I have opted for self-care. So far, it is working very nicely. Yoga, swimming, fruit salad, and spinach for lunch (Eva is not impressed…).
Also, a new puppy.
My man (gotta find a different name, seeing that this one is not appropriate anymore) went out with three dogs and came back with four.
Nobody has claimed her yet.
She is quite cute, especially when asleep. When awake she chases the chickens, and pees on the carpets.
:-).
This is our last week of holidays. From next week Tuesday, Eva will be in school and I will be working.
So we are making the most out of these last days. Friends, sleep-overs, nighttime swims.
Fun, despite everything.
All dressed up for New Year's eve.
Sincethe man and I have always lived in two houses, the practicalities are easy.
The rest will get easier too. I am taking it moment by moment, trying to feel each one fully, to appreciate being alive.
Remembering that nobody can make me feel anything without my consent.
And deciding to feel good.
Surprisingly it is working, most of the time.
The garden helps. It is in a pink phase now, after a long spell of brown grass, brown leaves, brown seeds.
The cat also helps. When the new (still nameless) puppy chased her, she just re-located.
No fuss, just find a different place and snooze on.
There is so much beauty in my life!
A big hug to you.
Lots of love,
