"Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are" Bertolt Brecht

 
It's been a strange week here. One of the kiddos has been in Japan, so the house has been strangely empty, heralding that future soon to come.

I had an operation, and while it's all fine, I'm on a soft diet so eating in a manner which I never do. I also can't do my usual things, so I feel quite in limbo.

It is feeling like a stranger in familiar surroundings. The view is the same but also different.





I am really looking forward to getting my normal back, even though a week ago I was feeling overwhelmed by my normal. As John Spence said "Sometimes you need to distance yourself to see things clearly."

  3. This could be the space you are meant to be in ..for this time and to consider life as it is...not being depressing just saying, there is a messy middle in life between what we knew and what we are learning. Ask me how I know..ha! Denyse x

  5. Hope you recover quickly from your operation Lydia and get your normal back soon! After being away and being sick the whole time while away, I have a new appreciation for home (my normal)! Thank you for sharing with us at #WWWhimsy xo
