I admit it.
The last few days have proved to be slow.
Not the business, not the world, not even those around me.
I have been slow.
Having had covid a few weeks ago I have since found it challenging to keep focused and find my energy levels are not what they have been – and don’t get me started on my swimming times which have gone south.
Frankly, there have been occasions when I simply needed to get out of the hamster wheel and do… nothing!
I even struggled to find something meaningful for this week’s missive until it became obvious to me. So many people I have talked to in recent weeks are feeling the same!
What’s unusual, at least for me is that between May and October is my favourite time of year! It is sunny, hopefully, warmer and people tend to smile more easily, all of which helps my general demeanour.
Yes, I have been doing the classic family business thing of much to do, not doing it and so instead beating myself up…
I know you are thinking that surely Peter you of all people know how to snap out of this?
Yes, I recognise I am not alone and that many individuals are feeling the same and perhaps going through far worse hardships than me.
Making a special effort to give me a break and cutting myself some slack is all that’s necessary to get my brain moving again maybe?
What’s the real POINT, Peter?
I needed something different but what?
Family is always there for us and just when I was typing this our daughter Hazel sent me the pictures below saying she had found the perfect cupcake for me!
Yippee!
I asked her if I could use the pictures and she said that she would send me a better one.
The third one made me howl with laughter… an empty wrapper!!
Bloomin cheek!!
Laughter cures most things.
Go find something to make yourself smile and the tiredness will go away…
And stop beating yourself up!
Now I am off to find how to get my hands on one of those cakes…
