Themed evening at youth church this evening all the children were asked to dress up as a character starting with the first letter of their name. Reagan decided on Repunzel, a princess unaware of her royal heritage, commended for her spirited, lively personality and independence. sounds about a perfect character for Reagan to be? She […]
Had such a great conversation with Jamie today discussing relationships and what it means to be happy. We all want to be happy but don’t work on being happy with what we have enough or fully work through our feelings instead trying to be someone else pulling up facades and putting on masks to hide […]
Lincoln had not been enjoying gymnastics for a few weeks but because we had paid for 10 lessons the rule is if you commit to something you need to see it through, he carried on until today. Lincoln started gymnastics when he was 7 but really took to it when they said he could learn […]
I questioned my sobriety today after dreaming about Guinness, and whether there is any reason why I need to deny myself something I want and have enjoyed many times in the past? The only answer I could come up with was 440 days, and how I would feel if I broke that streak and maybe […]

It seems weekends are not good for my health just lately, last Sunday I felt poorly and today I again felt bad suffering from this nagging cold that just will not do one. I spent the morning in my shed making a new box to cover the gas meter and got cold I don’t think […]
