Christmas prep

I’ve felt like most slightly overwhelmed by Christmas. There is so much expectation and you are always your worst critic.

Wanting everything to be perfect is natural even though you never is.

But whilst walking today I thought back to 3 years ago when we were in the depths of the pandemic.

When we were all watching intently the news, daily updates on deaths, travel, vaccinations.

It’s still a raw memory thinking about the utter devastation everyone felt.

How I was an emotional wreck trying to keep it together for my family but never really knowing whether we’d get through it and whether life would ever resume to normal.

That was a good walk today it grounded me and made me appreciate so much my present situation.

Who cares if it’s not perfect it will be yo me x

12 years ago I gave up my career and moved to Luxembourg with my partner. It was only meant to be a temporary move but 12 years on, 3 jobs, 2 houses, 4 kids 2 cats and a dog we are still here. This is my story. What I have learnt in my 46 years, trails and tribulations with my kids, navigating language difficulties with stuff I like. Don’t judge me be kind.

    I think there is far too much pressure for perfection. I’m looking forward to winding down now my markets have finished and I have finally got over my sinus infection.

    I’m sure your house is warm, cost and inviting over Christmas x

    When do you want to meet up? I’m wanting to book train tickets or drive (argh ) x
