We’ve enjoyed an amazing few days of warm Spring weather, and today was as good as any so far this year. I won’t lie I’ve felt pretty tired all day. In part, no doubt, down to my first gig for a couple of years last night. But the smile is still there after such a wonderful night and it’s been another good day for me x

The Kindness Vs Cancer teddy bears are continuing to raise funds for Laura Kendrick’s fundraising target. I am currently getting the next batch of bears ready for delivery in the week. Today I was able to deliver locally a very generous order of three bears once again saving on the postage costs. It was Laura’s funeral yesterday, so my thoughts were very much with her family and friends x

I have a clean car inside and out, as I was given this as a gift for my birthday. I am ashamed to say that the car was in a right state, and now is like a shiny new sparkly vehicle albeit with 90,000 on the clock 🤣 I am aiming to keep it in better condition from now on…

I picked up my 4 weekly prescription of Sertraline today. I think this next course will take me to the 6 month mark. I have been feeling so much better and I haven’t had a serious wobble or bad anxiety in the whole of that time. This is also in part down to the CBT sessions and also to the support that I have had from everyone who is now aware of my difficulties. The latest building block that I have added to my support core are some of the amazing essential oil and botanical blended products from Elysian Botanicals aimed at improving our emotional wellbeing. The Peace Mist which I spray on my pillow at night has been a massive game changer and I drop off to sleep very quickly now without the endless overthinking that I have been plagued by for so long. Check out the https://elysianbotanicals.co.uk website. I feel like I am building a really good base from where I can embrace and enjoy life once again, and feel more like the old me. The more blocks I can add to this base the better me thinks…

Clocks changing tonight means a return to lighter evenings thankfully. I so much prefer British Summertime. Mothering Sunday tomorrow I hope everyone has a lovely time with their mothers. I will be totally fine. Not to say that won’t be thinking about Mum, and no doubt I will be talking about her in the next post. Until tomorrow x
