I’ve been quite once again. This is because I have actually been productive lately.
Rekindling old friendships
Spending quality time on myself
And lastly finally getting my small business up and running.
The last few months have been busy, trying to home school the little madam (I emphasis the trying, it’s not going all that well). How are the rest of you coping doing the home schooling? Our class group has the typical usual sub groups, the ones that get up at 6am and practice yoga with their child before completing all the daily work, the ones that post every little thing on social media, the ones that are doing nothing and the ones that are just surviving and barely getting by without at least 3 meltdowns over English or maths and still not getting hardly anything completed. I’m in the last sub group and have got to the point where I will take any small accomplishment as a win.
I have been furloughed full time for the foreseeable. This has been a blessing for me. I had been living with so much stress and anxiety which I can see has been caused by my job. To be able to step back and concentrate on myself and my family I feel so much happier.
All this has given me the push I needed to focus on my own business that I have wanted to start for years. I’ve been sewing since I was a preteen. It’s always been a passion of mine that’s always pushed aside to concentrate on my career working for someone else, making someone else more money and taking the stress of their business. I don’t want to do this anymore it makes me miserable and takes my time away from my family. So I’m going to do everything I can to ensure I don’t have to go back, at least full time anyway.
So this is my new beginning, making children’s clothing, memory blankets ect. Something that actually relieves my stress and anxiety rather than exaggerating it.
One thing I’ve noticed this lockdown, how many different photos I’ve seen that people have taken of snow flakes. This is making us all appreciate the small things in life. Which lets be honest it really isn’t a bad thing.
What’s your new beginning?
