Slowing Things Down

Wow it’s been 7 weeks now that we’ve been in Quarantine, and honestly it’s has it’s ups and downs!

It’s has been a blessing in disguise, I’ve spent so much time with my son, creating memories, learning new things, spending more time with God and just coming to peace with myself!

Time has slowed right down, so I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and understanding the reasons behind some of my emotions of recent. With the aid of my amazing Joyce Meyer books, Online devotionals, my bible app and just some alone time I’ve realised I was lacking ALOT of self love.

I was very dependent of others telling me how good I was rather than realising it myself, I was very dependent on my partner and I didn’t really like being alone. This time out has made me understand why I had been feeling that way, and through acceptance and understanding I’m on the road to being the best version of ME!

I’m a mother, and I’m an amazing mother at that. My son is super happy, confident, intelligent and it’s most definitely part of the environment he has been bought up in, and just all the learning and attention I give to him. While trying to be the best mother, I’m also trying to be the best partner, while also trying to be the best version of MYSELF! How? I think I need to do a 101 Blog on that one.

Each day is a struggle as I figure out how to keep lil one entertained and active, I suppose creating a routine every Sunday night for the week has particularly helped keep us organised. It also helps me make sure that he’s doing enough learning and lots of play. As the weather also gets nicer we’ve been going on more walks and enjoying the outside too. Spending more time with daddy too now that’s he’s home!

But for now, despite the circumstance of this lockdown, I’m grateful. I’m grateful for time, good health, happiness and my amazing family!

What are you grateful for?
