Thankful for… The arrival of Binface, cuddles, fish pie, trooping off to Sainsbury’s for chocolate and beer.

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
Thankful for getting to the end of the week, interesting chats about Jesus over email, being encouraged that someone else loves Jesus too and for an evening on the sofa!
