Good morning and a very happy Monday to you all! I hope you’re all well and had a great weekend. I wasn’t sure if I would be writing a Monday motivation post today. As I mentioned last week, I am making some changes to my blog and you will notice a subtle little name change up above in the web address! Nothing else has changed as yet, and whilst I want to do a proper launch with the new name and new design I thought I might as well continue as I am for now as everything is taking time! People have very kindly said they look forward to my motivational updates on a Monday morning so, while I can, I will keep them coming!
I’ve had a pretty manic weekend. I seem to spend all the weekends when we have nothing planned, moaning that we have nothing planned. Then when we have a weekend like this one and my feet barely touch the ground I go into Monday feeling like I need a holiday! This weekend was my weekend to be a #dancemum. Phoebe basically had rehearsals and performances all weekend and I dutifully took her along, watched and supported and even did my bit as a chaperone for her rehearsal on Sunday. Archie had his own play rehearsal all day on Sunday too so we’ve finished the weekend pretty exhausted! It doesn’t end there…the next few weeks are looking jam packed too!
We are all working hard climbing our own mountains at the moment. There is so much to achieve and so much to be very proud of. Archie had a great parents evening this week and we couldn’t be more happy with how he is doing at school. We all made a pretty big sacrifice for him to go to the school, we moved house and our lives and started afresh in a new town…so only a little bit of pressure for him to do well! It’s such a relief when you know that the decision you made was the right one.
I feel I’ve been struggling up my own personal mountain for a while now and it’s going to be a while before I see the top. I regularly feel like giving up…it would be easier just to pack this all in and go back to doing what I know in my comfort zone but I’m nothing if not determined! Anyone that knows me will tell you that I am probably one of the most competitive people they know and that is never more true than when I am in competition with myself! I have this little birdie on my shoulder whispering in my ear that this was all a big mistake and I should give up now before I make a complete mess of everything. Then there’s me that keeps on trying, keeps on challenging myself and doesn’t want to give in when there’s a small chance that this might give me everything I have been searching for.
I knew changing the name of this blog was going to be a big task…not something I could just do overnight. When it first got changed over late on Saturday night and I logged on only to find my entire years worth of posts had vanished, then I was definitely right on the edge…teetering on the ledge of the mountain wondering if it was worth all the stress. Luckily it got sorted pretty quick and I was back on the climb again! It’s very much ‘one step forward – two steps back’ but I am always very proud of what I have achieved.
Anyway, I had intended this to be a short and sweet post but here I am rambling on about mountains! I’ll stop now and let you get on with your week and start climbing your own mountains!
Until next time – hopefully with a new look site!
Nicx
