Hi everyone! π
Just wanted to say a little hello and apologise for being a bit rubbish at posting on here these last few months.
Having had a pretty crap winter with my physical health I then got quite a shock when my mental health took a sudden downturn too.
Back in February whilst on a fantastic day out with my little man I had a huge panic attack, something I hadn't experienced in nearly 15 years, it was like a can of worms had opened as what followed was endless anxiety, daily sobbing, insomnia, and so on.
I got help and after a few hiccups am now settled on some very helpful pills that have the fantastic double bonus of easing some of my chronic pain too so I'm actually in a better place than where I started.
But it shocked the hell out of me. I never ever imagined my mental health would ever suffer again since having Freddy so it was time for change.
Yes life is still chaos, yes I still work, run a business, have a lazy husband and am a busy mum to a child, 3 dogs, 2 chickens, a Cockatiel and whatever Caterpillars we happen to be raising at any given time, but wherever I can I make a little time for me.
Right now I am sitting in my garden on my bench listening to the bees and the birds (not a euphemism) with a cup of tea and winding down after a stressful evening instead of taking that stress to bed with me. I don't get to do it every night but I'm doing what I can when I can and a huge part of that was to take a semi step back business wise.
I absolutely love my business and am hugely grateful for every order and that side is so slow these days its more than manageable, but event wise I pushed myself way too hard these past 2 years, so this year I've hand picked a small bunch of events to stick with and thats it, the rest of the time is family time, time for getting out, making memories and finding smiles, because life's too short and there'll be more years to make more money in the future. Right now some things are more important.
Sorry for the ramble but I just wanted to take the time to explain, I wasn't ignoring you all and to those of you who have stuck with me, thank you, your orders always bring a big smile and your support means the world π
If anyone actually read all this way to the end, sorry but you know how much I can go on! π x
