I have downloaded the banana and carrot cake recipe - thank you 💖 I can relate to all you say - the "hindsight thinking" and the life reflections and all the feelings that brings, the exhaustion from "peopleing" since covid, the purpose vs purposes etc. It feels nice to know I am not the only one. I cant speak for all your followers but my memory is so bad you dont ever need to worry that you may be repeating yourself - I would never know 😅 And i bloomin loved mouse trap - that and the game called Operation 🤩😂 Heading off to look for the FB site now 🥳
Just so great to hear your voice Suzanne, I’m glad you rambled today, yes we have had this gorgeous weather up here in Scotland too. Aw love you were holding a baby! ♥️
Banana and carrot cake yum! I’ll need to look for the recipe and maybe try that - although if I do say so myself oops, I do make a fine carrot cake (no banana in it) which could also be made into small ones - never thought of that before.
Glad you had a beautiful place to reflect at / gaze upon.
Something frustrating or consuming at the moment. I have that just now - worrying about our son and fretting about my own situation in recovery from bad accident. More about our son.
I liked and understood what you said about needing to take small and consistent strides. Ie Smaller actions to take.
That’s how I’m living just now really. Today I did my exercises, did my short computer time, went a walk, just listened to this ramble, earlier I tidied up my home office room and also saw my friend who came to visit (although I cried with her, I’m still quite tearful at times, esp with things I find touching or when people have been really kind to me and/or asked how certain things are).
Can’t find the FB group - anyone got an easy link? I’ll keep trying and prob will find.
I’m all peopled out today! Spent a lovely afternoon with my old work colleagues, eating cake, drinking tea, laughing ...
But as lovely as it was, I’m exhausted now and grateful for some unpeople time. Some of that unpeople time was spent driving aimlessly around the country lanes whilst my D13 recovered from something that had made her cry. She couldn’t share what it was but the fact that she simply wanted to sit quietly with me whilst we drove, was my bit of joy in a sad place today.
Thank you for the ramble Suzanne and people DEFINITELY need to read what you’ve got to say 😊
Thanks for the ramble, I did some yoga this morning instead of scrolling and as a small step in the right direction it felt good.
P has been really struggling with some big trauma stuff, problematic 'boyfriends' have been a big thing lately. I am partnering my arse off but lovely therapist is away for a month and P has been very angry with me at times. Also she and her sister have been arguing a lot and both want me to intervene/turn on me if I do. We are going to Albania on Monday for a week to have Albanian celebration of our sons wedding and I am really anxious about how it will go. I have already got a separate place for eldest daughter to stay so girls have own rooms and have asked to have a session with therapist's supervisor before we go .... I think keeping myself as calm and grounded as possible is my best strategy.
I am feeling silly but can't find the ramble FB group..can someone send me a link? X
I’m with you on the trying to find meaning as that’s where I am just now too. I’ve been working on this in therapy where I said just yesterday how I will never understand how human beings can be so cruel to one another. It simply baffles me. I do hope the world that is coming is a better place, until then I’ll keep striving to find the good that is here. To that end I went for a walk and paddle in the sea, definitely enjoying the moments more and if I feel guilty ever I hear you telling me how important it is so I carry on!
What a totally awesome quote, another one to stick on my fridge to reread again and again as I walk past ....
Totally with you on peopling being draining since covid, I absolutely have my can't people days.
Multi purposes is very interesting and setting the metrics of the majority down to do what we want to do in the moment , all awesome stuff brought to us by an awesome lady who 100% has amazing talent to write that next book 📖

Thinking about you Jude as you worry about your son in the middle of your own recovery ❤️🩹 x

I hope the link works Roselle. My Facebook skills aren’t the best.
Things sound tough at the moment so I’m sending you a hug as well as the link ❤️
Thank you..for the link that worked and for the hug. Am out on my own little ramble now ..x
Enjoy 😊
