A look inside my world
I've been really struggling for months now and was coming out the other side, but instead of being gentle with myself I did the opposite, as I always do, and threw myself in the deep end! Jumped in with both feet! Cleaned EVERYTHING. Dealt with everything I'd left waiting. Walked. Cleaned. Arranged. Just did everything. I…

Helping a little friend 🦌
A few weeks ago while driving I saw this standing in the road. Normally they are timid and flee as soon as they sense anything. I think she’d been hit, she stumbled about, and kept trying to hop up the little bank on the right but falling back down … it was pitiful by which I mean the older sense of the word. Then she just…
