I have been having a rough time lately. The battle between my head and heart continues and, once again, I lost my peace.
2018 has not been a good year, full of a lot of personal pain that I am still trying to fight my way through… slowly I am getting there, but there are still days when I fight to get out of bed in the morning. Thankfully, my work makes me get up and get on with it, but sometimes I could shut the door and lock myself away.
I have decided to change a lot in my life, I bought a new mattress and bedding, sold the Motorhome, I have bought a beautiful caravan that I am delighted with and unexpectedly bought a new car too! … I didn’t intend to, but had a call from the garage where I bought my Qashqai from telling me of a deal on a second hand Nissan X Trail with only 7k miles on the clock. The monthly payments actually work out at £2 less a month, and it is a better vehicle for towing (and a 4 x 4 which means I can escape the lane when it snows!)… I have also had my living room, hall and bathroom redecorated … and my bedroom and office will be having a facelift in the new year (once I can decided on the colours!).
I know I need to put the hurt and frustration of 2018 behind me … perhaps all these changes will help me find a wee bit of confidence in myself and my ability to see people for who they really are.
I have also decided to concentrate on myself. This year I have had to deal with lies and cheating, drunkeness and temper tantrums, which were very cruel. I am not prepared to put up with any of this in my life.
I may have lost my peace for now but I know it will return. I just need to take care of me and let karma deal with the rest.

Well said Jane I can relate to the feeling of not wanting to face the world but I think your deal with myself and karma will take care of the rest is a mantra I love. I have been doing mindfulness this last 6 months and I’m starting to see the benefits of it. Hope you find what helps to Jane
