The Happy List #17

Almost a month has passed since I really came on here to write. In giving myself space for healing, I’ve just not had the capacity to write anything.

I’ve let go of what isn’t essential right now. Mum duties always take precedence, and it leaves little for ‘Polly’. Focusing on setting boundaries, doing what’s best for me, and reducing stress factors in my life.

Grateful for the friends who’ve been checking in on me, who are there in the background supporting me and cheering me on. There are no shortcuts on a healing journey, it all takes time, but I feel like I’m on the right track this time.

Amongst the chaos, is lots of pockets of happiness

* Dinner and a movie at my friends house, chatting and giggling and taking some time sans kiddos

* planting out seedlings, potting others up, seeing the garden coming to life

* homemade pretzels

* late night kitchen silliness with my girls

What’s been making you happy lately?
