The Way The Cookie Crumbles: May 2016

At the risk of repeating myself, how is it May already?!

I am almost constantly switching between 'I want it to be august' and 'Why is this year going so quickly?' and I feel like a middle aged mother whose children are growing up too fast. If I ever say 'it feels like yesterday when I was changing nappies' then you have full permission to wrap me in a blanket and leave me on the doorstep of a retirement home.

Last month was pretty brilliant for 2016, I got to see some great friends and I felt the best I'd felt in a long time. I was cooking more and eating healthier, as well as doing more in a day. I write everything that I do in the day on my calendar so I don't forget it and when I feel like I've done nothing and wasted a month, it's nice to go back and see. I did some life admin and feel much more prepared now, although there's still so much to do before September.

I think that's the problem though, there is always more to do; more forms to fill out; more emails to write and so on until a whole year has gone past and you're trying to remember what you were doing. Therefore, it is so important to write down the times you went shopping for fun or went for a walk through a nature reserve or caught coffee with someone because those moments matter at the end much more than the time you wrote an email. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do the life admin things but write the positives down so you don't feel like you're wasting life, because you're probably not.

Anyway this is just a quick one as I've not got much concentration today.

Take care
