Eight months of not sharing my life online.
So I’m back, via a trend.
Not very me at all.
What happened?
My mum got diagnosed with cancer for the third time, only this time they can’t cure her.
Though I am trying desperately to prove I have healing hands. 🙌
Life got real simple, real quick.
During these months, there’s been change I’ve / we’ve chosen.
And plenty we haven’t.
Each one is a step that makes the next a little more palatable. 🦶
And it’s really freaking hard.
Hard to witness the changes my mama has to endure.
Hard to be away from home for weeks at a time.
Hard to stay in the present, hard to look to the future.
I’m naturally very adaptable and generally enjoy change.😬
This, this is different.
We’ve had choice in some changes.
Others have been decided for us.
Some have been gradual, others overnight.
Change really is constant.
It’s varied, and unpredictable.
Even when it’s staring you in the face, the timing is sure to catch you off guard.
It’s r**t messy and can leave you floundering, and the next minute, stupidly empowered.
Sometimes we know where the change is taking us, often we don’t.
We just have to dare to make a decision and step.
Often it’s not one thing or the other, it’s all at once.
Here’s a change for me today…
I’ve posted on Instagram.
Who knows what other changes this week will hold.
What changes are you in the midst of right now?
