Flaunt it Friday

I’m away on holiday this week and it feels really special because, last year, I had to cancel several holidays due to ill health. I’d rebooked this one with fingers firmly crossed that we’d make it. And we did. It feels like a big achievement.

What have you done this week that you’re pleased with?

We’re off!

Flaunt it Friday

After a busy time last week planning events for my children’s book, The Clocker, this week has been one of catching up. I’m sounding a fanfare for getting the house cleaned and tidied. It may not be exciting but it certainly feels good when it’s done.

What have you achieved this week? I’d love to hear from you.

I admit that I find it really hard to push myself ‘out there’ in terms of promoting my children’s book. I’m feeling really pleased with myself that I have not one but two bookings at local libraries in the summer. I’ll be reading from my book and getting the children who come along to do some drawing and writing. It feels like a massive achievement.

What are you feeling pleased about this week? I’d love to hear from you.

Flaunt it Friday

My Flaunt it Friday this week is a small achievement but one I’d been putting off. Each year, as Spring arrives, I think about the vegetables I might grow in the garden. We now have 2 large raised beds for this purpose, our garden being small. This year, though, we’d made the decision to completely empty the beds. One was bulging underneath, the other we wanted to move to a different place. The reason I’d been holding back is that my right hand and wrist have been very painful; rheumatoid arthritis has taken its toll. I don’t like to give up though so, on a day I felt okay-ish, I put on my wrist support, took some painkillers and we got to it.

Sometimes, the small things give the greatest satisfaction. Now I can get planting, which is much easier.

What have you achieved this week, however big or small? I’d love to hear from you.
