Lockdown is over here in Melbourne and it feels like a huge weight has been lifted. There are still lots of rules to follow and things we can’t do yet (like visit family interstate) but that taste of “freedom” and the beginnings of a return to normality (at least “COVID normal” 😅 ) feels so good. 2020 will be known as the “Year that the world stopped”. Being forced to stop everything does have it’s benefits, and has hopefully given us some new and better perspectives. For me personally it has been a reminder to always be prepared; To not take the simple things for granted. To take better care of myself physically and mentally And to cherish and love every moment spent with friends and family. Looking back on this year I feel sadness, disappointment and hurt, but scattered amongst the negativity are brightly shining blessings that I am truly grateful for... My beautiful son and the joy he brings, My loving and devoted husband, Support from caring friends and family, And the peace
Becoming a mother turned my whole world upside down. It’s the best and worst thing that has ever happened to me.
