We WERE told we could have it all! I'm on the tail end of the Boomers, and that message cost me dearly. I got married, on schedule, but found out no babies would be had. And that message really changed my whole life. I was now on this journey just for me. I went back to university in my forties and had my dream career as an educator before retiring. And now I read posts from a writer in the UK who adores mysteries and 'Working Girl'. She says she often doesn't have it together, but she inspires me so much, so I think she is plenty together. I mean, just today, it looks like she used some blossoms from her garden in her journal. Beautiful! Very clever and it made me smile just thinking of how much fun she had creating. You have shared another wonderful piece, Helen. Thank you❣️
I love your comments so much. They always add an extra layer to my thoughts. The photo is from a few years ago when I would ‘mess about and waste time’ creating for Instagram. But I now have that photo framed on my kitchen wall. I adore it.

Oh my that final paragraph ❤️ Enough, my word of the month, I’m applying to time specifically as well as me in general. There IS enough.
Thank you Claire ❤️
