November 2024- becoming more self-aware

And there we have it- we have almost made it into 2025…
Recently I have been working harder on myself and trying to be a lot more self-aware.
I thought I wasn’t a ‘winter’ girl; I am a ‘summer’ girl. Long walks along the beach while watching the sunset; the warm air brushing around you and a favourite smell... the smell of corn cooking on the BBQ.
“It was so peaceful; the sea was crystal clear, and the gorgeous sun beamed and reflected down upon the sand and sea.
Hours had passed, and Doodle and Rosie were still splashing around in the glittery water that had started turning orange from the reflection of the warm sunset that was emerging from above them”. (My Doodle turns into a Mermaid)
I never really liked the cold weather until now. Now I sit outside, as the sun rises and the fresh crip icy wind turns my nose a deep shade of pink. As I take a large mouthful of my morning coffee, and I watch my two rabbits jump so freely around the garden playing in the fallen leaves from the trees, I am at peace.
I am extremely grateful that I can taste the rich burning coffee; I can hear the birds sing; I can experience pure fresh air go into my lungs as I breath so freely and effortlessly. I am wealthy with all the love that surrounds me.
October 2023 I was diagnosed with Functional neurologic disorder (FND), due to this I spent a couple of months being pushed around in a wheelchair and had limited speech. A year later I am thriving; my legs work, and I have a voice. The amount of gratitude I now have for my working body is limitless. Even on a tired day where I walk extra slow, I will never take my body for granted again.
From now on, I will cherish the cold winter months, knowing that the trees need to shed their leaves to prepare for spring, when flowers and branches can bloom once more.
Oh, and by the way, my two very spoiled children (the rabbits) live in the biggest rabbit house that took roughly three weeks and the help of about 10 family members with the project of building the mansion.
