Things happen for a reason

There are lots of changes taking place in our lives at the moment. After nearly nine months of being out of work, Roland has now started his new job and things are beginning to feel like they are getting back to normal. Whilst this means that my own life is a little more stressful and busy as a result (I now have full responsibility for getting the kids out to school/pre-school in the morning before I go to work and then collecting them at the end of the day (when we’re all tired and grouchy) I am still very excited to have some routine and normality back in our lives.

We’ve been through the mill a bit in recent months and have had some tough times. We’re both feeling positive and happy about the future now and looking forward to the autumn beginning and all that brings.

As I said in a previous post ‘Life is like a box of chocolates and you never know which one you’re gonna get’. Right now, I feel grateful for my family life, happier than I have in a while and am full of enthusiasm for the future!! Things change, shit happens, life goes on……………………………….my new motto is ‘don’t sweat the small stuff’ which I have been guilty of doing far too much of. 

Tough times give you a new perspective on things and things happen for a reason. I know who and what’s important and will focus on being there for the people that matter and most importantly, remember to enjoy life as you never know what’s round the corner!!!
