Life Is Hectic

As you can tell I haven't posted for a while. This has been due to life becoming very hectic. My father in law passed away on the 5th of November, after a brave struggle with cancer. James has been constantly helping in any way in can. On Monday the 15th of November, we had a memorial for Bob. It was such a lovely service. We ended the day by going on a boat out to sea to scatter his ashes. I told the kids now that when they look at the sea they can think of Grandpa being all around them.

The boat that we went on to scatter the ashes.


Waiting for the boat to arrive.

James reading a poem in rememberance of his dad.

The beautiful sunset.

Matthew getting to drive the boat.

Samuel happy to go up stairs.

Samuel getting his turn to drive the boat.

I have also been struggling with my health and having no energy and lack of motivation. I am about to go to a naturapath that I found through a weekend magazine.
I watched this really great webinar, 7 Steps to Freedom from Anxiety, Depression & ADHD Webinar,  that explains so much as to why I am the way I am. So tomorrow, Thursday 18th and Friday 19th November I have a first appointment. I am praying that this will be the beginning of getting my life back. Will let you know how it goes.

    So sorry to hear about your loss. Cancer is just so nasty as I discovered myself this year.

    Good luck with the naturapath. Hope you are feeling more yourself very soon.

    Hello Sarah. Thank you for stopping by. My sympathies for your family in the loss of your FIL. what a loving & amazing tribute!
    I pray for luck with the new alternative you are taking in health care. I look for new ways as well. I have health problems and they keep me from enjoying the things that I used too, so I understand. I mention it a bit in my latest WW post. I love to meet new people in the blog world, and it is esp exciting when they are in a different part of the world! I will keep you in my thoughts & prayers & hope to get to know you better! healing hugs!

    My deepest sympathies for your loss and sending you love and healing light for a speedy recovery... I've been out of the loop for a while myself so I didn't know about the things you were going through.
    Thank you for sharing and be blessed. Welcome back too.
