Girl talk...

Hello dear sweet friends! Oh how I have missed you all! I've just made myself a cuppa and thought I'd sit down now to have a little chat with you all. I promised myself when I started this blog that I would 'keep it as real as possible' and be open and honest with out exposing myself or my family too much in the process. So in saying that, I wanted to be honest and say that I have been feeling a little overwhelmed and sad lately. I mentioned a couple of posts ago that we were at a crossroads in our lives here at Jacaranda Cottage with big decisions to make, and while these things are happy and exciting things, I am finding them to be a little too much for me to deal with at times. I think it's more that I am afraid of us making the wrong decision because once it's done, it's done. The reason I am rambling on here telling you all of this is to explain why I haven't blogged or visited for a long time. Just the thought of blogging made my head spin most days, and I hate doing posts that aren't happy or upbeat, but then today I thought 'well life is ups and downs, so why can't I share that too'? A few of you dear ladies have emailed me asking if I'm ok and to let me know that you are thinking of me. What sweet friends you are! Your emails and comments have brought a smile to my face just when I needed one. Your friendships mean a lot to me, and I think of you all often though-out the day. Today I decided to go for a nice long walk along the waterside to clear my head and breathe in the last of the fast disappearing winter weather, and naturally I took you all with me. I can't promise to post again soon although I do 'plan' to, so please bare with me if you don't see a post for a little while, and maybe send a little prayer of comfort my way if you feel so inclined. I hope you enjoy our little winter waterside walk, and that you are all having a wonderful end to your summer. See you soon....love Amanda xxx
