Generally its been a good week since I last caught up with you all but I have had at least a couple of times of those horrid uneasy feelings that just sometimes rear their head. Of course in the past what I might have done is eaten them away, to stuff anything uncomfortable back down but nowadays I am trying to be grown up and not do that.
So this week has been a week of
thinking, praying and exploring my feelings with God. That isn't always easy
but it is worthwhile and leads to really good things. I just don't know what
they are as yet!
I'm not sure I've got it in me for a
wordy post this week, so it is one of my quick fire lists of all the reasons I
am grateful right now -
- The girls tried out Guides last week and loved it, it is just a shame they now have secondary school open evenings for the next two weeks. They can't wait to go again.
- I met a lovely lady from church last week of coffee and a walk along the sea front, it was really pleasant and good to get to know her a little more.
- I'm still going to the gym and actually quite enjoying it. I had a very good work out on Tuesday morning and met a couple of nice old chaps to chat too.
- I had a great day with the girls on Saturday as the boys headed into London, we had some shopping, lunch out and pampering time together before a night snuggled in front of the TV.
- Sunday we enjoyed family time in Bexhill where I set a photography challenge for the kids and we all really enjoyed having a prompt to focus on.
- I gave blood, which always gives me a great sense of satisfaction.
- I had the most wonderful shish kebab with a lovely friendly and we caught up and prayed together, it doesn't happen enough.
- I'm sat enjoying a very indulgent scone lunch as I write this post.
- Our new church connect group is starting tonight and we have managed to get a babysitter, so both my husband and I can go and that will be fab.
- I'm off to London Friday for BritMums Live and on the one hand it feels a tad scary as I'm not going with anyone, nor have I arranged to meet anyone. On the other it feels exciting as I am going to go with the flow. The plan is train up to London, lunch on the South Bank, a tour o Parliament, then an Instagram walk with other bloggers. After that I have no idea until the next morning, so I'll either meet some like minded folk to have dinner with or have a nice chilled evening in my hotel room. I'll let you know next week.
