This is my journey to get back to me, although it will be a new old me, a better version of the person I was becoming.
I am a mother and grandmother who loves to craft & garden, bake and cook. My family means the world to me.
I may smile and seem content, but behind the smile, tells another story. My life was turned upside down and inside out in 2016 when my husband suddenly passed away. I met Peter when I was 10 years old, he was my rock, my soulmate, my best friend, my instigator, my joker, my tester and my cohort for almost 40 years. Then one year later, almost to the day, my best friend since grade school passed away. She was my confident, my other rock, my go to person when I needed a pick-up, or even advice on a crafting project.
Over the next year my life started to get in a rut. I had things that needed to be done, and the more it seemed I had to do, the harder it was for me to get it done. It seemed like I was going non-stop doing things, second-guessing everything, but never getting things done to my satisfaction. I couldn’t focus on the task at hand, and was bouncing all over the place. Yes I was constantly busy, but without the focus, I was more like a chicken with its head (well you know), and just couldn’t do one thing by itself.
Fast forward to a few months ago,
WOW!! What a change. I have energy to do things, I am able to focus more, and for the first time in 3 years, I wam able to focus and complete a daunting task, lI am no longer second-guessing myself and my decisions. I am sleeping better and feel better overall.
The main thing I have been trying to do for the past 3 years is downsizing the house and garage. Though I am not finished yet, things are definitely going in the right direction.
I also have to thank family, neighbours and friends for your continued help and support, and words of encouragement, it means a lot to me.
This is me. This year is going to be the year I get back to me.
