A Safe Space

Here I am. I clicked on the "publish a post" button and I'm going to do it.

First, let me set the scene. Its 11am, the sun is hot and streaming into our lounge and I am really rather hot in my robe. I've been absent from my blog lately. This precious space I carved out.

I've been absent for a few reasons. They are becoming clearer to me every day as I lead up to this holiday season. Mostly spiritually and emotionally. My focus has been elsewhere, trying to figure things out, going into hybernation, protection, a safe space.

Blogging every day is a vulnerable thing. For the last wee while I have been protecting myself from that. I didn't mean to, it just sort of happened. And when it did it was lovely.

I wish I could say I have been doing all of these other things instead but I haven't been. I have been laying on the couch, mostly sick, and keeping one eye on our toddler. For a week MrMoo was overseas. Remind me in the future to never to be a solo parent ever.

In other news, I found my Blog Book today. It was inside a recipe book in our little stack of them in the pantry. Perhaps MrMoo was sick of my blogging and hid it in a place he thought I would never look!? Very clever.

 I'll be back before you even noticed I was gone, but dont miss me too much okay?

  4. I heard a good saying re: blogging - real life always comes first. Take it easy, take care of yourself and your family, and don't feel any need to make excuses for doing that because, after all, you are a human, and this is just a computer. Love to you! xxx
