If I had to define optimism right now… this would probably be it!

Losing someone you love rewires everything. You stop assuming there’s always more time… because you know there isn’t.

It’s why I hold on a little tighter, stay a little longer, love a little louder. And if that looks like “too much” to some people… so be it.

I’ve seen what it feels like when time runs out 💔

I’ve been talking to a friend recently about how she’s been feeling the pressure of social media and needing to look a certain way, be an amazing wife and mother, perform in her executive level job… do all the things!

And boy do I know that feeling of “everyone else can do it all, why can’t I?”

But honestly, it’s a lie! I can have a huge week at work, I can have the housework up to date, I can walk my dog, I can mow the lawn and pull the weeds, I can wash the car, I can cook amazing meals, I can socialise, I can take timeout for myself, I can do all the things… but I can’t do them all at once!

If my garden looks amazing, there’s a good chance I’m behind in the housework, if I’ve been kicking goals at work, there’s a good chance I ate cheese and crackers for dinner… none of us can do it all on our own.

And that’s the part social media doesn’t show.

You’re usually seeing one area of someone’s life at a time… the highlight, not the trade off that made it possible. There’s always something being let go of in the background.

So if you’re feeling like you’re falling short, you’re probably not… you’re just human.

You’re doing what you can, with the time, energy and capacity you have right now.

And honestly… that’s enough ❤️

Not everything needs a plan… Some seasons are about trusting what you can’t yet see.

I think I’m turning into my dad! He always used to say, “what’s the point of growing it if you can’t eat it,” and he lived by those words.

As well as being a farmer, he had an amazing veggie garden. I used to love that whenever I’d head home for a visit, he’d always send me off with a pack of chops, a lamb roast, a carton of eggs and a box of whatever fruit and veg he was harvesting that week.

Although I’m not sure I realised quite how lucky I was at the time.

I always said I was going to set up a veggie garden like that here… but so far I haven’t found the time. Maybe when I retire 😅

For now, I’ve got corn, tomatoes, cauliflowers and rhubarb planted amongst the rest of the garden. It’s not perfect… but it’s a start!
