What is enough?

Just being together is enough.

There is so much pressure on everyone to have material things and whilst we do need some material things what is enough?

I have clothes to wear and a house to live in.

I am lucky to have children, have a car, go on holidays and I have a job.

It’s easy to get carried away with trying to keep up with what the world shows us in images on social media.

I challenge you to take a moment to think about what you would miss the most of it was gone.

For me being together with my family is priceless. The memories of things we have done places we have been make me happier than any new pair or jeans or a car. Everything else I can work out we don’t need the most expensive or newest one out.

If you don’t like something it’s ok, no explanation is needed.

Often we feel compelled to explain why we don’t like something to others, well we don’t. The person that we need to satisfy is ourselves and that’s it. #Simple

Thursday Thoughts

This morning when I told my children to get ready, so I could drop them at their Nan’s both not knowing each other had said exactly the same thing ‘You look like Nan’.

For me this is an ultimate compliment, my Mum is a strong, caring, loving and wonderful person. She is selfless in so many ways and is always there to help when ever I need her.

* My parents separated when I was 7 and I lived with my Dad. I saw my Mum regularly although my Dad has always found it hard. I don’t think about it really, but I do look like my Mum and have we do have a lot in common when it comes to personality. Seeing me must be a constant reminder to my Dad of my Mum. And the real sad bit is that my Dad has never got over my Mum leaving, he will say ‘hi’ if he has to, but that’s it. If he knows she is about he will just not come to see me. And I have learnt over the years just to let it go and not to worry if that’s what he wants to do that’s his right.  *
