Things of beauty interlude...

Temporarily, our life has been thrown into a state of flux. Sometimes, things you believe to be safe (like jobs) are not, and you have start afresh with new assumptions. This week I have learned that my patience is not as extensive as I had thought. That I too quickly leap to conclusions, even though common sense should prevail. That I misuse semi colons (according to Boo's crib-sheet on the matter). That I have some awesome friends, who when it matters, form an emotional huddle. A wigwam of support.

I've felt oddly hemmed in after the Christmas period; still no school for my children, so days spent killing time. The recline level has gone to extremes and my son announces daily that it's a 'pyjama day'! I have had to explain that the beauty of a pyjama day phenomenon is that it does not occur every day!

As ever the final week of holidays is a week too long! It's not long until I return to work and that is starting to fill my thoughts. I feel like I need to go back and retrace how this last six months of absence came about. I need to walk in those same steps and see if I can create a different outcome. If you want things to be different, you have to do them differently.

I have had some lovely guest bloggers post their thoughts and there is more to come next week. Thank you for your wonderful welcome and warm comments. I like the different slant on things and whilst I am staying in the background, I am still here :-)
