My man @ste_w22 ain't half bad to me!
Just want to say a huge thank you to @vikki40 The chronic illness community has bought some wonderful people into my life and it is little helpful things like this that can make your life a little easier and mean so much. Unfortunately I had already showered this morning before I opened it but can't wait to try it out! Thank you you beautiful, kind lady 💜
How my Bank Holoday Monday has looked... How was yours?
Today's Mental Health Monday post is live and there is a link in my bio. Today I am talking about people pleasing - something which I know only too well about. This affects so many people in numerous different ways - from that basic human instinct of wanting to be liked to consistently putting you and your needs at the bottom of the pile. My post explains some of these behaviours as well as offering suggestions to help you create a better balance.
Well today has been a brighter day! I have actually got away from the sofa and my bed and say at my desk to write a blog post. I have to try and keep my foot up as much as possible, so took a couple of breaks to get it up for 10 minutes but it was great. I also had a quick 10 minutes on @thesims4 but think that will be tomorrow's plan as we are now getting ready for the family quiz night. Hope everyone has had an enjoyable (if a little windswept) Saturday x 📷 @stacieswift
Today has been a slow one... @ste_w22 isn't feeling too good and is having to look after me as well as himself bless him! The pooch snuggled up to me for ages like this on the sofa this afternoon while I did some sewing and watched the TV, it was rather lovely. The scarecrow festival starts here tomorrow and I'm gutted we cant have a wander and see how many we can spot. We went to the Draycott one last year and it was fab! Good luck to all joining in tomorrow and have fun!
