Hello and welcome back! Today we are reflecting on how blessed I am and being optimistic about the future.

Blessed

By sitting in our local library watching the sun shine outside. My son is sleeping in his stroller right next to me. And I have the option to leave our home to write, I realize how blessed I am.

I have an amazing child. He is pretty much always happy and smiling. And he is so damn cute! And he knows is! He loves to play independently. And cars, trailers and books is his favorite things at the moment. Just like his parents.

I have an amazing man that is my biggest support and an amazing father for our child. I love him so damn much! When i am in a down period in my health he takes on even more of the everyday chores. And that without me even asking.

We have a house that we are renovating and is really starting to feel like a sanctuary. There are still things left to really make it feel like a sanctuary. I am at a point where I would rather spend a little more on a thing that I really love. Instead of buying things that i just like and change it often.

Elegance

Elegance looks so different for different people. And I can say that I feel like I live an elegant life after my standard.

I have my man who is the love of my life. I have an amazing child. I have a closet full of beautiful clothes that I love to wear. I have a beautiful home. Yes our home is still a work in progress, and it will probably be a work in progress always. Those who owns a house knows what I am talking about. I am taking back my life and health one step at a time.

Right now

And yes, there have been a lot lately. But as we are getting closer to summer and vacation time the planner is slowly getting emptier. Things that we had to do every three months is now every six months. Things that we had to do every month is now every three months.

I am still not 100% well. And I feel fatigue is on the way. My back pain is starting to act up again. I do have a appointment with my doctor after Easter so we will see then what will be done. I am taking my health and my future self seriously so I am taking the necessary steps so I wont be on the bottom again.

Optimistic

I am so optimistic about the future at the moment. I am looking forward to the future.

Yes there is still lots of work that needs to be done. Yet, there is so much fun and pleasure to look forward to. Even just to this summer. We are planning on having a home vacation so we can work on our home and garden. And have lots of quality time together. We don’t have to have layers upon layers with clothes. Time slows down and there is little obligations. Time slows down. And here where I live the nights don’t get dark.

Love
