It’s been a bit of a tough week this week and I’ve spent a lot of it riding the emotional:
There’s not been anything in particular happening that’s been the cause of this – other than my old friend the black dog making himself at home again. I’m tired and missing hubby being around (although he is wonderful when he is able to be at home, helping out with the girls and stopping to really listen to the mess of emotional thoughts that comes out of my head).
I’m trying to find the positives at the moment and have set myself a challenge to post a photo each day on Instagram this month of something that has made me smile. I know this current phase will pass – I keep reminding myself of that – and hopefully looking for the positive moments will help with that too.
Linking in with Jocelyn at the Reading Residence for Word of the Week:
Good luck with your Instagram challenge and hope it helps put the dog out x
Thank you x
Love the word of the week thing! Fun 🙂 And yes, you’re doing so great keeping up the positivity! xx
Thank you – trying to stay focused on looking for the positives, can be all too easy to get sucked into a spiral of negativity otherwise x
Rollercoasters have their ups and downs, so it might be down at the moment, but you will soon be up again, especially if you keep up those positive thoughts. Hope things feel better soon. x
Thank you – yes, good to remember that rollercoasters go up too!
I’m sorry you have the black dog hovering, it’s hard when this happens. It’s great that you’re able to focus on positive things as I really do think this makes a difference, even when it’s hard work to do so xx
Thank you – it does help even though it takes more effort to focus on the positives sometimes x
I hope your emotional rollercoaster settles down soon. I do like your Instagram challenge though, I don’t post enough on there so maybe I should give myself a challenge too!
Thank you – it helps make me look for the positives which is a good thing.
Sorry to hear its been up and down. I hope next week is better x #WotW

Sounds like a rough week but the Instagram challenge is a good idea – helps you to focus on the positive (hopefully). X #wotw
It’s been tough but am trying to find the positive moments and not let the challenging moments get to me, hopefully next week will be better x
Its nice to find ways that will keep our mind out of the bad things. That is really hard when the events are bad meaning you are a fighter. I really need to do that IG challenge as well. #wotw
Thank you – trying to focus on the positives is helping.

Must make more effort….

Thank you – it’s helping me focus on being positive so far 🙂
Good luck with the challenge? How are you doing so far? I really hope the positive thoughts help. *big hugs*
Thank you – keeping up with it so far and trying to stay positive – also got some good support from my GP and health visitor now so hopefully will be getting that black dog back under control very soon. Thank you for the hugs x
