not feeling well – Mummy To Twins Plus One

I have had about 3 or more weeks fighting a bad cold, to then get very bad hay fever. I am over the feeling unwell and sneezing and I do feel zapped of energy and motivation. However in my messy house currently I am hoping to do some things for me. Due to being unwell, I have felt rather down and depressed. Silly but not unreasonable given the circumstances.

I am hoping to create some of my own sunshine to allow me to shine and feel good and happy. A bit of me time for my projects will allow this. Now to go and clean the dining room table to get stuck into my project. Image found on Pinterest.

I am hoping to get some sewing done to cheer me up. I am planning on doing some skirts for the girls, a skirt for me and pajama pants for myself as well. (yes something for myself). However this project for me and of course the kids has not happened due to trying to get some housework done. By the time I whiz about and do the odd jobs I never get time for my things. Do you find this happens? I especially need a pick me up now due to being a bit out of sorts.

Don’t worry I am on the mend and hope all is getting better, however I am still sniffling due to hay fever I think and hope the cold is well and truly gone!

It is not grey hair, it is sparkles in your hair.

The other day Julia was looking at my hair. She must have spied a grey hair. I don’t have many and only about two, but loved what Julia called them. She said that they were sparkles in my hair. I would rather have sparkles than grey hair and thought that this is a nicer way of describing grey hair. So all of you that have grey hair, you have sparkles in your hair.

This made me smile and of course is another lovely thought to add to the sunshine in my day. It has also reminded me it is time to dye my hair again due to more sparkles appearing. Yes I would like to avoid sparkles for a bit longer if I can.

Stop worrying about your stresses and focus on your blessings.

Lately I have been thinking about the troubles and stresses in my life and not looking at all that is good. I am very blessed and lucky for what I have. I need to stop worrying and just be. Do you do this as well? I know I DO!

What do you do to let more sunshine into your day? Do you meditate, relax, have a chat with mates, have some quiet time, sit in the garden, have flowers to look at, or do a bit of your favourite hobby? Maybe reading a good book is just what the doctor ordered?

Let us know what you do and maybe others will be inspired as well. Send in your comments.

Lately I have been in pain and not happy about it. I did go to the chiropractor but to no avail. Oh my I wish it would all go away. I am now hobbling around and very frustrated and annoyed.

I had plans to do things and all I want to do is rest and sleep. I am about to go and do some stretching as it might help, along with pain killers and later a hot bath with Epsom salts. Maybe this might help. However the aches and pains don’t help me tidy, clean or sort and of course do things that I want to do, like sewing or reading.

What do you think is the best way to fix a pain that starts around the rib and down the left arm mainly from a sore neck! It is now affecting my left leg and I do think it is just a nerve that is pinched or jammed. Would a good massage help? Would a nice bath help? I am at a loss to understand how to fix it all.

I have been told to do more core strengthening exercises and that has been my plan, however doing them while sore is not the best either.

Any advice would be greatly received. If you have a magic cure or at least tip that would help send it my way.

Thanks everyone! Off to do some much needed stretches and will catch up with the Block All Stars while I exercise.
