A little healing...

Even though I still had posts on here last week (WP's scheduled posting is better than Blogger's) I actually spent the majority of last week in bed sick with Flu. It sucked. But this week is a new week and my first act to feeling better was taking my time walking to work, enjoying some sunshine (even if it was freezing) and snapping some quick photos on my phone.

I've taken photos of this walk a million times* but I realised this time last year (as part of Susannah Conway's Photo Meditations) that it was my way of letting go before having to deal with work. In looking at things that are familiar differently, perhaps I can learn to do the same with everything else that's happening around me too. Or perhaps, when everything hits the fan, I just like a bit of familiarity... I don't know. Either way, I feel a bit better.

*slight exaggeration...

Today is an odd day.

Today is an odd day.
My family got some bad news yesterday and it's thrown me a little.
I'm more confused about what to think about it than anything,
but I'm so excited that it's finally mine and Thomas's week off together...
Which is conflicting.
I think I need the break though now - from everything
a little time to regroup...
remember whats important
and forget about all the little things I'm worried about.
Especially as I'm beginning to think that this year is going to be a very tough one.

I was incredibly lucky to see some deer cross my path this morning though, I only had my crappy mobile, so the photos aren't great (you can kind of see them in the first two photos) but it was nice to just stand there, a little awe struck and watch the world go on around me for a little bit...

Sorry this post is a bit meh and uninformative, I wanted to sign off all excited and I am, especially about the guest posts, they are going to be amazing... and I really can't wait to spend all day with Thomas for the whole week... it's just more of a tame excitement now I guess.

Have a great week, enjoy the guest posts!

A little update...

This is a bit of a non post really - I've been feeling a mixture of sick/bored/frustrated/exhausted these past couple of days and I haven't really known what to post... hence no post yesterday.
(Honestly, you wouldnt have wanted to read anything I wrote yesterday it was bad mood central over here)

Anyway to distract myself (I'm all about the distractions) I got the whim that I wanted to update my little blog - it took me ages to get it right but its been the same for a while and really my blog has changed alot - and you lot are all now here too - so it has to look its best right.

In the end I didn't change much - just changed a font, added new banners and made some pretty social buttons on the right - but I like it - so its all good. I think...

Of course now I need to update everything that has my old font...

Anyway, I just wanted to say hi, chat a bit I guess and see what you all thought of the new changes. I'm off home this weekend to see my Mum, so hopefully I'll have exciting things to share next week and I'll definitely be feeling much happier as I'm planning on getting as many hugs from my parents and this little chap as I can, yeay!!

Have a great weekend!!!
