Thankful for… The epic feast of the evening, bring and share dinners always being the way to over cater and enjoy lots of lovely food. The 15 people crammed into our living room, laughing, chatting and thankful to God for this being what church is all about.

As Mental Health Awareness Week draws to an end, here’s some of the wonder that has helped to root me and find myself again this week. It’s vital to look after ourselves. It’s the path to freedom and love. I’m a better parent, wife, friend, colleague and person when I soak my soul in the wonder that I am loved, worthy, of value, held, seen and known. Link the bio to my latest blog post where I get a bit shouty about these things. #mentalhealthawarenessweek #loved #takecareofyourself #freedomWhy make a normal Victoria sponge cake when you can make a blue and green one? Thankfully still tastes yummy... #cake #rainysaturday #timeforacuppaDay 1 of being signed off the bit of work I could be signed off from, due to exhaustion. Realising how tired my body is. Saw amazing bluebells. Inhaled their scent. Stumbled home to sit in the sun. Stared at bluetits on our cherry tree. Read a bit of a book. Napped for an hour. Repeated go slow, be gentle, be kind to yourself. Felt grateful for being able to be signed off. #sleep #rest #bestillmysoul #bekindtoyourself #mentalhealth #bluebells #stopping #tiredness48 hours away in Selsey to pay attention to my body, listen to @lostwordsspellsongs from the National History Museum, drink @skylark.coffee, hang out with the One who loves me most, walk in pretty places, have a morning walk in ancient Yew trees with my Dad, read books and realise the weight of exhaustion that covers me right now. Grateful for the husbandface for holding the fort and My Maker for blue seas, green grass and a beautiful word to bumble around in. #timeoff #exhaustion #beauty #soulsoothing #toesjusttouchedthewaterWalking my tired body around the woods. Noticing the green creeping higher and wider each day. This world reminding me that resurrection always comes. That hope will win out. That there are inescapable wonders even through the aching bones and fog in my brain. #inescapablehope #walkingon #green #blueskiesObligatory I’ve had a haircut selfie! Ah the small joys of life in this weird world. #haircut #pandemiclife #grateful #feelinglikemeArchives
Giving thanks for a morning Bible reading that was the challenge and encouragement that I needed and for leaving the office in time to have dinner at home and watch Glee episodes!
