A black cloud descended over me late yesterday…I blame the moon. Well that and mean girls!
I was having a night of melancholy which hardly ever happens then I got cranky with myself for buying into it.
I woke up and got dressed in colour to lift my mood AND put on heels…
Then I changed into a black outfit a few hours later. I felt stifled in my jumpsuit so pulled on a soft skirt and tee. I even pushed my hair up because I thought it might make me feel stronger, but it didn’t.
I headed to my local cafe to do an update on my cancer journey and made myself cry…I blame the moon!
Off to my yoga teachers house to work on some planning and setting goals. We sipped tea and ate organic chocolate and wrote about 20 words…because we both needed a chat instead. God I love that woman, I left her place feeling cleansed and almost back to my old self.
Ducked home to leave food for the kids then off to catch up with a friend for a cuppa.
She arrived with a smile and these….
Flowers make my heart smile!
A chat in the sun with the ocean as a backdrop is always perfect. I arrived home feeling lighter, nurtured and loved. The moon?…meh who cares. All is good in the world! The lesson?, behave in a way that how you make others feel is important.
How was your day?

February 5, 2015 at 6:39 pmI felt much the same as you yesterday and woke up feeling much the same (you should see my FB status update). Going for a nice long walk this afternoon and will continue to put one foot in front of the other.

February 5, 2015 at 6:53 pmI’ve only just found out there’s something funny going on with the moon AND Mercury is in retrograde again: no wonder this week has felt off kilter and a little nutty. Hope you’re feeling better and have a lovely, relaxing weekend planned.
Jenni says
February 5, 2015 at 7:08 pmI’m off to the shack with my mister, one son and a group of his mates. Limited internet access so lots of rest planned. X

February 5, 2015 at 7:24 pmYes retrograde ends on the 11th, bring it on! I’m looking forward to a weekend of knee boarding and relaxing. X

My day was a good one, home all day just pottering, doing washing, cleaned the bathroom and after a few nights of hardly sleeping, had to give in and have a nap this afternoon..Corned beef cooked in the slow cooker and veg for dinner tonight has finished the day well. Now relaxing on the laptop catching up and watching some tv with a cup of tea…Hope you have a great Thursday night Jen and remember, always here for a “chat/vent”, if you ever want <3

February 5, 2015 at 8:45 pmWell, Im feeling pretty pleased with myself today. I had a nail appointment and walked out with gorgeous baby pink nails which look fabulous. After my appointmetn I decided to call into Target to grab some toothpaste thinking that it would be a q;uick trip rather than the supermarket with all those chocolate temptations! I stumbled..yes almost stumbled, across the larger ladies clothing section which stopped me in my tracks. A new brand. A rather nice new brand it is.a bit outside my comfort zone with shapes I might not normally try. Might just take a few pieces into the change room just to see how they fit…anyway….they are hanging in my wardrobe and I still remembered the toothpaste and just because.. I bought a new lippie.
On a roll I hosed down the front driveway, roller doors, garden and everything in sight until the hose popped off the connection. Moved on to preparing dinner in my new Air Fryer.. oh my goodness… Lemon Chicken Fillets a la Jamie Oliver and chippies for hubby and salad for me.
Did a quick fashion parade for hubby with nodding and verbal admiration. It’s a good day in my world.
Jenni says
February 5, 2015 at 8:51 pmIt’s an AWESOME day in your world Fay…go you! I need to check out tis new Target brand, didn’t see it the other day. Thanks for the tip x

February 6, 2015 at 12:59 pmMean girls suck. My mood has been foul this week too – poor hubby. Yesterday I was buying with excitement sending my eldest to school for the first time. I am loving your necklace that your wearing with your black outfit! Do you mind sharing where you got it? I love it!!
Jenni says
February 6, 2015 at 3:29 pmMust be the week for it Fleur. The necklace is from a local Boutique Namoi Designs http://www.namoidesigns.com and a local lady makes the necklaces. Stay tuned because I’m showcasing them next week. x

February 9, 2015 at 1:45 amThere will ALWAYS be mean girls…. but just remember, in order to be mean, they must be ‘jealous’ and with that little dose of inspiration, turn that frown upside down and wear a smile upon your dial. 🙂
Jenni says
February 9, 2015 at 9:59 amHa ‘turn that frown upside down’ is one if my fave sayings lyn… Already done thanks lovely x
