Day 28: Past Love
Things you love about your past. Now, when I first read this prompt (at the first of the month), my gut response was “Not a hell of a lot.” Now that I’ve had the month to mull it over, I do feel differently. ‘The past’ doesn’t just mean childhood or teenage years, my 20s, etc.…

Day 27: Present love!
Things you love about the present. I love that I am working to take care of myself. Whether that is through taking classes on self-betterment, finding time to connect with people important to me, taking Lily for a walk, or eating a delicious meal. Finding and figuring out what is important to me is truly…

Day 26: Best Decision
The best decision you’ve ever made. I thought about this one most of the day and still haven’t really come up with a sold answer. Having my son. Changing jobs. Choosing life. All excellent decisions! Finally, I decided, I’ve yet to make the best decision of my life! That means there is still more to…

Day 25: Birthday!
Your favourite birthday or celebration. I like birthdays. I like throwing birthday parties. Specifically, children’s birthday parties. When my son was small, starting with his first birthday, I started planning and throwing fairly elaborate parties. Handmade invitations, decorations, cakes. His first was Pocoyo. Second – Mega Blocks. Third – dinosaurs. Fourth – race cars. Fifth…

Day 24: Happy Memories
Happy memories from your favourite get together! Over the years, there have been some good get togethers. With friends, with family, so picking some memories wasn’t hard – filtering through them and picking one set was difficult. Many years ago, my Dad & Step Mom used to plan a family camping trip to a nearby…

Day 23: By your side
The people who were by your side during difficult times. While there is a wider network I can turn to, I think everyone has a couple key people they rely on. These are my people. My sister. I would not exist if I didn’t have her in my life, plain and simple. She was my…

Day 22: Life changing decisions
A decision that changed your life in a positive way. While this is still a ‘work in progress’, a few years ago, I realized I was waiting for life to start. A weird realization for a 40something to realized, I know. It is kind of hard to explain. I was living life, going through the…

Day 21: Impossible
Something you’ve overcome that once felt impossible. I have some health challenges. Generally, I don’t speak about them too often. Not ‘publicly’ at any rate. Privately, amongst my family, I will sometimes complain, generally about pain, but that’s often because I suffer from chronic pain and it is very plain to see when I’ve gone…

Day 20: Life experience
A unique positive life experience you’ve had. This may seem a little weird at first, but stick with me… I’ve mentioned before I was married when I just weeks before I turned 23, divorced at 24. I mentioned my (ex) mother-in-law was quite the pickle of a lady who, for the most part, despised me.…

Day 19: Indulgences
Something you own that you’ve wanted for a long time… I have wanted my own, enclosed office for a long time! Especially after doing series of Zoom meetings out in the open and having a cat, dog, teenager, and husband interrupt me! Oh how I longed for a door!
