Today is my 53rd birthday. On my birthday last year I shared a pretty emotional post about how I was feeling (it wasn’t great!). A year on I’m still finding life hard, trying to align your hopes and expectations with your reality isn’t always easy. I was so looking forward to my fifties, convinced it was going to be my time, turns out life had other plans. Having said all that, looking back from last year I have made strides forward, I lost way too much weight last year and I’ve now got that under control and have been strength training so feel in better physical shape than I have for years 💪🏻. I’ve been looking for ways forward to a happier place and that was one of the reasons for starting maybe this is going to be my gardening era If you haven’t checked out what I’m up to yet please go have a 👀. I’m overwhelmed with what I’m trying to do but that’s a story for another day.
Right enough deep talk I feel foolish being vulnerable on here so for now I’m going to enjoy my day and eat all the cake 🎂
