This was one of those melancholy weeks. A full-moon, my period due any second, unruly children and a messy house out of control had me crying over mis-matched socks and screeching over the hideous fly that decided to commit suicide in my lovely, freshly brewed cup of coffee.
After attacking a block of cooking chocolate after dinner, I took a deep breath and looked around me.
I noted the 'little things' I was grateful for, right there and then, and started taking photos to capture the moment.
I was Grateful for:
 |
| My New Kitchen |
 |
| Chocolate |
 |
| The stems of the bok-choy I cut for our stir-fry that looked like roses |
 |
| Little Miss C in her Fairy Princess ensemble |
 |
| Little Miss A with her Flamenco dress and her Daddy's hat |
 |
| Little Katrushki walking down the aisle |
 |
| Our latest addition, Jinxy the Kitten |
 |
| The picture Miss C drew of me that I found on my phone |
Life is precious. Life is what we make of it.
When I feel my swing slowing down, I make sure I kick up my heels and point my toes towards Happy-ness again.
Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
What do you do to lift your spirits when you get the Blues?

PMS sucks!! Particularly as you know whats going on, you know it's temporary yet it can influence your whole state of being and is so hard to shake! The two things that save me are the gym and mindfulness...like you, taking a moment to pause and reflect on the details.
Hugs to you Jess x
Oh Jess, you truly are blessed. It's amazing what a reality check can do to make us feel grateful for the good things around us. But yes, feeling down is hard - I can understand. What beautiful smiles on all your girls. Precious! x
