There’s something about autumn that reminds me it’s okay to let things fall. 🍂
I took this photo today because I couldn’t get over how beautiful this leaf was. Almost perfect. The colour, the shape, every tiny vein illuminated by the sun… and then there’s that little hole.
And actually, I think that’s why I love it even more.
I think sometimes people look at me and think I’ve got it all together. I’m running a business, organising things, making plans, looking after everyone and generally just getting on with it.
But I have my little holes too.
I take medication every day that helps keep me balanced and able to spin my plates, and in amongst everything else going on, I forgot to order my prescription and ran out, typical me!
It probably wasn’t the best week for that to happen. It’s been a few days of feeling overwhelmed, sad and a little bit worn down by life, and tonight something seemingly insignificant was the final straw.
So I’m calling it. I’m climbing into bed, turning everything off and accepting that today just needs to end.
Tomorrow I’ll get up, make a coffee and try again.
Just a reminder from me, the people who look like they’re holding everything together might actually be working incredibly hard just to hold themselves together. Be gentle with people. And with yourself.
And on that note - I’ll be back to my usual warm and fuzzy posts tomorrow! 🍂🤎
