Reminiscing…..

Sometimes the simple things in life are what is needed…… all last week I really wanted to have a swing and yes I finally did it! The fresh air, the sense of freedom and the pure joy it brought me – it just felt amazing, almost like I was 5 again! The only thing was the whole time I was thinking omg who is watching and what are they thinking – a grown woman at a children’s playground alone having a swing – in the words of my niece “what a creep.” Honestly though I don’t care – I know I’m not a creep and it’s what I needed to do for me and I’m sure I’ll be doing it again soon!!!!

Enjoying my swing at the park….. just what I needed and aren’t I looking happy and relaxed?

Speaking of feeling 5 again – this week is one year since we jetted off across the world to LA, London, Paris, Edinburgh and San Francisco – all places I’ve dreamed of going, but never thought I would. Wow how I wish I was embarking on this journey again as greedy as that sounds! Some of the best and happiest days/memories of my life that I’ll always cherish and giggle about.

An extremely happy day at Universal Studios LA! I will remember this day forever – so many laughs 😍 and I was such a daredevil, going on rides I didn’t think I would 😃
The happiest place on earth – where I was 5 years old all day and loving it 😍 #Disneyland #meetingmoana #imcomingbackoneday
Living a dream in London….

This holiday truly was a dream for me and there was not one part of it that I regretted! However I do sometimes wonder was this my undoing? Did I have too good a time and going back to reality was just too hard? I guess I’ll never know the answer to this, but I know for sure the experiences I had in these countries I will never ever forget! Travelling is definitely something I want to continue doing as there are still a lot of places in the world I want to explore, including going back to some of these places 😍. I’ve already had the offer of Melbourne and I’d love to holiday on the GC again as we were planning with the boys just last week! Oh man what a lot of fun we would have 😉.

Nice and relaxed in Edinburgh, exploring where my sisters performed in the tattoo. A truly calm and beautiful place, even though it was cold!
My biggest dream became a reality this day 😍. Paris and the Eiffel Tower you beauty – my happy place 😃. I’m coming back to go up the tower next time 😊. Plus it was hot just how I like it…..
Alcatraz San Francisco- a lovely memory and photo of a truly amazing holiday with these special people 😘

Anyway this week has all been about reliving my holiday and dreaming of more. I’ve had a pretty quiet, at times lonely and low key week so it’s been nice to just reminisce. Sometimes this week have still been a little low and confusing for me, but I guess (well hope and pray) things will get back to what it was as I miss some of the antics I’ve had lately. I’ve also decided this week to share my journey with more of you, which is quite hard for me, but I truly trust those I invite to be on my journey. Also I’ve obviously added pics to this blog and most of my previous ones if you want to check them out. Again thank you for your feedback and reading and being a part of my journey! Here’s to a positive weekend and week ahead 😊. Love you all 😘

  1. Travel is amazing and brings back many hours of joy reliving what you have done. SWINGS… I live them and do so at any park I can, when I don’t have the grand kids as otherwise I have to push them on the swing!! 😆 Almost as much fun but not quite as enjoyable as having a swing myself. Can’t do monkey bars anymore -no upper body strength😣.
