Healing

Thank you all so very much for your kind comments on my previous posts. The corner did, in fact, turn out to be a rather long bend in an incredibly long road. But I am finally heading in the right direction, thankfully. 




It is also the reason I found myself back in the city, taking some time out to rest and recuperate. Time to just 'be'. Slow, gentle walks along the river. A large sofa. A furry blanket. Home cooked meals. Probably the worst Christmas movie I've ever watched. Possibly the worst movie ever! 



Admiring Christmas lights. Enjoying some leisurely coffee stops. Awesome city views.

I'm still having to take things very easy, but I'm happy to say that I'm seeing some improvement and beginning to feel much better. This holiday, I'm doing only what I feel comfortable with. Anything else can wait. 

Sending you all my warmest, heartfelt wishes this festive season. 

Back soon.

    1. I cannot express just how bad that movie was. But for some reason we were compelled to watch it until the very end :)

  16. Hi Jules, I seem to have missed commenting here though I do remember reading this post. I probably read on my phone and would comment later from my computer as it is easier. Anyway, I had just popped over to say , I hope you are still on the mend and things are improving and you and Lily are good. I hope we hear from you soon. Xxx
