It's been a long winter and there has been some madness in my life for sure.

But the great thing about getting older, you get to choose how you react to stressful events in your life.
How does that saying go... What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger right?


There are things that make me feel better- not my favourite things. That's another blog entry all together.

1. walking at dusk
2. running/exercise. All winter. No excuses.
3. goal setting
4. ticking off to-do lists
5. going out of my way to help others (need to do this more)
6. projects (not work related)
7. tackling hard tasks first, to get rid of that niggly feeling
8. sighing / at least taking a deep breath
9. recognising I'm not a morning person!
10. being superficial and self-indulgent in moderation.

So, I'm sorry if I offend some of my friends with my frivolous nonsense of conversations at times.

I appreciate that my life is on a completely different path than most of them. I am buying make-up, not nappies. There are countless hours in my day and yes, I know I'm lucky to sleep seven hours straight. Heck, eleven if I was to be honest with you.  But I also know that at some point of my life, I will be on that family track too.  

I am genuinely interested in their concerns as new mums, wives to their working husbands and mortgages to juggle. It's a learning curve for sure and I am lucky to be travelling it alongside them.

But I am at a fork. A cross-roads. And for now, I'm doing what's important to me too.
Me.  And this blog is my creative vent.


So what are your de-stressers?  In no particular order please..
