Hope.

So I started writing a post the other night, being the dutiful blogger that I am. We are away from home for a few days and I wasn't sure how much time i'll have after loving on our nephew all day to do any 'typing'. So I was going to plan ahead, schedule posts and all that 'real' blogger stuff.

But everything I wrote was so freaking depressing! I was even trying to do some funny 'post-secret' style thing and they were all so 'agony-aunt'. The last thing I want you lovely readers, and anyone new who should happen to pop by, is think this is a dreary place, my little corner of the internet. Most of the time we are having a blast, I swear! 

So I decided it was best to sleep on it and put myself to bed. The (very) sombre mood all made sense the next day with the arrival of a regular monthly (though unwelcome) visitor (- because you needed to know that). I was even crying in bed, for a good 30 minutes, full of worry about 8 year old niece who just changed schools and if she doesn't have any new friends or people aren't being nice to her. Oh the hormonies! I tell you, they are wicked!

The last two Sundays I've opened my heart and shared how hard things can be as someone who is struggling with infertility (here & here if you missed them). This week, it's the same heart, just one that is managing. Focusing on the blessings. Cherishing the special moments we have, just the two of us. I feel hopeful and am grateful I was able to take a little break away from work and responsibilities and spend 5 whole days with my Tommy. Seriously I don't know what i'd do without his hugs. 

Wishing you a bright new week ahead x
