Standing Tall

I feel like my life has been a constant rollercoaster of late and this week has been no different.  You know what though, we got through it, you and I, and whatever you are going through right now, we got through the week and we will get through the next.

Whilst I didn’t think I was going to get through this week, I made it to the end and had a lovely weekend. Lunch and shopping with my husband and then moving our lounge room around on Sunday. Whilst moving furniture does not sound lovely, the result is our house is much more homely and comfy. Perfect for the cold weather coming and some ideas that I have brewing. The weekend was topped off with dinner at my daughters house. I was so tired after the weekend and the crazy week, I went to be at 9pm and slept for a full 12 hours! Clearly I needed the rest and that is why my friends, your weekly post is coming out on a Monday.

I went to a funeral today. It was for a high standing person of our community, someone who was supportive of me in a dark moment of my life. Listening to people speak about this person, it made me reflect of myself, what I want and how I want to be seen in my life. Something that was said is, “You should stand tall no matter what”. I have always hunched, and tried to hide my height and myself. The whole point of this blog is for me to talk about my experience and embrace where I am now in my life and the changes that have occurred. My default however is to be small. Today was a reminder to stand tall, put roots down and be strong, solid and resilient. This dove tailed perfectly into reflections I have been having about myself and what I represent, how people may see me and not caught up in how I see me. I have control over these things and this weekend especially, I am starting to see results. 

I don’t have a lot to say this week, but you know what, life isn’t always exciting and jamb packed with exciting things and new projects. Sometimes, we just be, and that’s ok. It really keeps reinforcing SLOW.

See you next week xx
