      🌞 here comes the sun 🌞 

Thank you for all the comments and check-ins from my last post. I hate that ANY of us feels this way, but it’s also nice to know we do all feel fatigued right now. 

We have some house projects going on. Spring cleaning, an overdue update to a bath, growing up a kiddo room—making our home our sanctuary is more important than ever. 
🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞
No filter on this glorious sunny day. Appropriately, the sun is blissful for @georgeharrisonofficial ‘s birthday.

      👑 one year ago, I was the fucking Queen of SHEBA👑 Today I am a puddle bingeing Netflix. (Swipe)

The covid edition of #howitstartedvshowitsgoing sucks. Seeing the memories of the best birthday, the JUBILEE, has me really struggling. When friends say “your party was the last really fun thing we did,” I break a little. We haven’t been able to celebrate anything the way we want or deserve. IN A YEAR. THIS IS NOT WHAT 50 was supposed to be. 
👑👑👑👑
I am really sad. I miss people. I miss fun. I miss spontaneity. Going out requires SO MUCH WORK, I rarely want to do it. 
👑👑👑👑
One of the biggies on the “mental health checklist” is no longer finding joy in what used to bring you joy.  I am scattered. Unfocused. Adrift. I need to acknowledge the toll it’s taking. 
👑👑👑👑
I’m not in search of huge gatherings or couture. But an excuse to put on PANTS and have someone see my lipstick would be a great start. I am weary of hiding. I am finished with isolation. I am struggling with the weight of the dark clouds. We all are. We need to shine.
      New Job Title. Approach at your own risk.

Setting boundaries is a skill I’ve learned later in life. Maybe it was because my little people (not so little anymore) were watching. Maybe it’s just because I got tired of caring when others were hating.

Whatever the reason, midlife is freeing in this way. My people know they’re my people. I care deeply and love hard until I don’t.Honestly, this is the core of real confidence to me.

      As I drive to the last club volleyball tournament on Valentine’s Day, it occurred to me that the idea of the day need not be about only romantic love. If you have love in your life—celebrate that today. Watching my son play the sport that he loves and sharing that joy with Himself is LOVE. Do something you love. Call someone you love. Love 💕 yourself and others. (And come back tonight for the giveaway!!!)
