    Most people have heard this phrase. It could be in relation to just about anything, too. I have a problem with this “advice”: it doesn’t work for me. I faked being happy for a very long time, probably longer than I even know. I knew something was wrong but just ignored it and hoped that…

    This Autumn has been BLAH. Since the start of October I’ve been feeling run down and not very energetic at all. My throat’s been somewhat scratchy and I have constantly felt like I’m coming down with something. My mood, however, has been alright. We’ve been super busy, going away almost every single weekend so I…

    Every year I say the same thing, this is my favourite time of year! September is my favourite month (with the exception of December) because everything happens now as the world turns to winter. 🙂 I am off on holiday soon, too. I’m hoping for a lot of sea, sand, sun and shutting off everything…

    I find in incredibly difficult to be positive at times. It’s like a switch goes off and I am no longer able to function as normal. Sometimes I can see what triggers it and other times it will just hit me. Recently it feels like there is more of it – it’s happening more frequently.…

    I’m still been battling the infections, but I believe they’ve all gone now for the most part. The Bank Holiday weekend was exactly what I needed and after dragging poor Hubby around shopping for clothes for him it was nice to relax and not do much for the rest of it. I went to bed…

    Hey bloggers and bloggettes, what’s up?! I’ve been fighting this horrible tonsillitis for the past 2 weeks, it’s been a sucky few weeks. 🙁 On top of the tonsillitis I had a sinus and chest infection. So much fun. So I’m finally feeling (mostly) better and it’s been 2 weeks today since my last workout.…

    Last week was tough in a lot of ways. I’m sure the previous posts shows some of that. I assure you it’s not all doom and gloom, I had a brilliant weekend with one of my besties. 🙂 I really struggled to get back into the swing of things last week and now I feel…

    Oh my gosh, I’m a mess! Our holiday was great, some much needed time away was just what we needed. We’ve been back a week now and I am always astonished when one day is all it takes to feel just as tired and stressed as you were before your time off. Why is it…

    My last post isn’t a great way to end the year is it? It was much needed and all true, but it’s not encompassing of 2010, just of the past 2 months or so. So I need to balance it out, with all the bad that’s happened (and all at once it feels like) there…
