I’ve had a hectic couple of weeks – in a great way – a flying visit from my sister from London, totally over-stimulated for a week or so, cramming in work before and after, trying to avoid catching a cold from my sister and Hot Fiancé and then feeling totally exhausted this week while catching up on work.
Yesterday I finished early with my client and spent the afternoon in bed sleeping, then went to bed early at 7.30pm and slept for a full 12 hours. 💤
Can definitely feel the lack of exercise for the last few days but I know my body needs the rest – I’ve successfully avoided being sick but can defo feel my immune system is fighting something.
Anyway, today I got on with work but was still tired and feel like I have loads still to catch up on.
I cleaned up the kitchen and stopped for a moment, taking in the gorgeous sunset over the hills with the magpies singing to me. 🌅
Then I unwrapped a few packages, and one of them was an eye balm that had a lovely message in it for me that was so appropriate for how I was feeling:
“You will never have this version of yourself again. Slow down. Be with her.” 🥰
I went back outside to enjoy the sunset.
I held the quote card to my heart and just breathed it in, and felt a wave of emotion wash over me. 🥹
It was a beautiful moment.
I still feel like I have all these things to do, but I’m doing them slower, and will do much less, while I’m sitting next to my gorgeous loving bulldog cuddling me, watching a Kylie doco.
Not everything needs to be done right now.
I can chill, more than I need to DO.
If you’re reading this, maybe this message was meant for you too. 🫶🏻
Much love,
