Today was a great day

 


This photo is the park where I went walking this evening.  It was the perfect spot to finish off a fantastic day.

I've had a pretty awesome week actually.  I'm feeling really positive about life in general.

Yesterday's hurdle was just that.  A tiny little hurdle which I made into a high jump.  

That is what I do sometimes.  I make things much worse than they actually are in my head. I am my own worst enemy sometimes, I know that.

You know what though?  I am so proud of myself for getting on here and getting it all out of my system so that I didn't let it bottle up and explode at work.  

I let it go.  I accepted it for what it was.  Something that I could have handled a lot better. As a result, I had a great night's sleep and a fantastic day at work.  I didn't lay awake all night overthinking, worrying, getting angry or emotional about it.  I got it out of my system on here and handled it really well at work today when we talked about it.

Yep, today was a good day.

HUGS xxx

Bubbles?

I guess you're wondering what is behind the name of my blog... Well, even if you're not, I'm about to tell you ;) From the description under the name of my blog, you have probably already guessed that I have depression and anxiety.  I am on the right medication and usually I am pretty under control.... Then COVID 19 happened. But, I am getting ahead of myself.  Back to the bubbles.  One of the things I love to do when I am feeling down is have a bath, with bubbles and candles and stuff.  Well I was sitting there one night about 12 months ago now, and I looked at the bubbles.  I mean I REALLY looked at the bubbles.  All of a sudden, I realised that the bubbles were a lot like my mind and I could use them to try to describe to someone who doesn't have depression and anxiety, what it is like (well for me anyway). So lets see if I can make it the slightest bit understandable for everyone else.   The way I see it is, when I'm happy and in...

Judging is Human Nature

Today I would like to talk about being judgy.   Before we go any further, I would like to say that this is probably not going to go how you think it will.  (See, already I am judging other people's reactions).    It is human nature to judge others, to judge what things (houses, roads etc) look like, what things you haven't tried will taste like .... So in my opinion (and it is only my opinion, my judgement, it doesn't meant I am right), telling people not to judge others is like telling a fish not to swim.  Saying that you never judge anyone is like saying you never breathe. Anyone who says they have not judged someone or something in their life is either the Dalai Lama or their pants are on fire. And you know what, that's OK! As I said, it is human nature to judge.  As soon as I say to someone, "come over for coffee but please don't judge my lack of housekeeping", I know they already are before they've even arrived - because I just ...

Perfunctory

Image
I've had a pretty shit weekend emotionally. I was able to be distracted during the week with work (thank goodness I was still able to work despite yet another COVID lockdown).  BUT..... The weekend is normally the time I would be spending with my (ex)man but of course this is the first full weekend since we broke up and it just hurts so much. I truly love this man. Despite the short falls in our relationship, I could truly see us having a future together, unfortunately, emotionally we were just polar opposites and I couldn't do it anymore. Knowing that and accepting that in my mind and knowing and accepting it in my broken heart are 2 totally different things. I get that while my tiny world has stopped, everyone else's keeps going. I understand that people have their own problems to deal with and I'm not front of mind.  There are just a couple of people in my life that I would have thought would be more - not understanding - but just show that they care about ME a littl...

Closing Doors

Image
 I've closed 3 doors in the last 2 weeks.  1. My most recent "romantic" (for lack of a better word because there was no romance) relationship - I finally closed his actual front door for the last time yesterday after going and getting all of my stuff...... and howled like a banshee all the way home. Check out my previous 2 blogs to get updated on this. 2. The friendship I have mentioned that was just harder than it should be.  I couldn't do it anymore and finally told her that I think our friendship has run it's course. 3. Is not so much closing a door on a person, but rather a marriage.   I am lucky enough to still get along very well with the father of my son and my (still at this point in time) husband.  We have been separated for 7 years and I have just signed the divorce paper work and sent it to him today. Normally, I would be quite pleased about this, both for him and for myself being able to move on.  However, it all was in the process of being...

Decluttering to calm my cluttered mind

 It's been a minute! Nearly 2 years since my last post. It's very strange, I just had a quick read of the last post and I am in the process of doing exactly the same thing that I was in that one - sorting out the craft room.  Only this time, it is in OUR house that we bought together.  A bit of updating first.  I have been with my partner (or should I say fiance) now for 3 years. For the most part, life is good and I love doing life with him. We laugh a lot and just "get" each other. The house we bought needed a lot of work and we have been slowly renovating it after replacing carpet with vinyl floating floorboards before moving in. We have been here nearly 18 months now.  It has 3 bedrooms and the third bedroom will eventually be my craft room. We had to fix the ceiling, which had sagged, and paint the room before anything else, which was done after moving in.  We then had to turn it into a spare room at Christmas time in 2023 for my Mum to come and stay, ...
