Taking a break

These are the weeks of the year I find hardest.

This year, they seem harder than ever after so many joyous moments that have been missed by those I’ve lost. Moments they would have loved to have been part of. We lost them all in different years but all in August.

I find myself thinking back, and it’s now decades in fact to conversations we had or those I wish we had had. To things I wish I’d said or never said.

I know that, as a result, I need to take time out away from social media for me to take a break to get myself back, and that’s what I aim to do. I need space away to focus on reality and let nature around the boat bring its healing to bear.

I’ll be back hopefully mended and back stronger and positive with our blogs in a few weeks – in early September when we start our 5th year permanently afloat.
