The future it seems to me after much thought, is still exciting especially as in April of this year I turn 60 … gosh where did those years go. I was only thinking earlier today what a wonderful community blogland is at the moment, although lots have wound up blogs and left there is a core community of bloggers, followers and readers that seems to grow stronger and more caring of each other with the passing of time.<br /><br />Enjoy your lovely children, they are truly beautiful, and I wish you every happiness and success in this brand new decade. xxSue https://www.blogger.com/profile/04947919568474743963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-75955332532350268142020-01-10T12:10:12.192-08:002020-01-10T12:10:12.192-08:00Lovely post, thank you!

I am at a pretty good place in my life and I feel cautiously hopeful. Your blog makes me so happy, and I am so glad you are in a place of relative peace.

You are right when you say that it can be much easier to be happy with what you've got and overlook the things that are wrong. Going forward with my life this is something I want to do more of too - being true to myself and changing things I'm not happy with. All the best to your and your beautiful kiddos for 2020 and the future xEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13129596492535149260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-82270085391121817552020-01-09T03:30:17.499-08:002020-01-09T03:30:17.499-08:00Your'e welcome!Your'e welcome!Artemis Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538191427602247808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-33613795332587581332020-01-09T03:29:56.581-08:002020-01-09T03:29:56.581-08:00Yes the New Year thing has been lovely with the ki...Yes the New Year thing has been lovely with the kids as usually I get a bit down around that time (not sure why) so it's good to have something to look forward to.Artemis Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538191427602247808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-39847293416672529262020-01-09T03:28:06.004-08:002020-01-09T03:28:06.004-08:00ahh shame!

I don't think I have ever really commented on my personal life relationships etc before on my blog but I guess unless you do, then people will assume all is a rosy life. I'm the other way, if someone never really mentions their other half in an emotional context, I'm likely to assume all is not that well. I am very normal and had many ups and downs like everyone else...but generally I'd say I'm an optimist, and it's hard to keep an optimist from trying again! ...and at the end of the day, there is always art and music xArtemis Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538191427602247808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987781614894074408.post-55508128631787045992020-01-09T03:16:26.435-08:002020-01-09T03:16:26.435-08:00Thank you!

I love the idea of saving a present for the children for New Year, and making a bit more of New Year's Day.

In fact I would love to hear more! I imagine its hard to spill too much personal info out into the void, a one way conversation, but I think that's what we come back for. Yes your photos and style are magical, but learning about you the person is equally interesting to me. I have weathered big changes in my marriage and have a similar set up to you and yours. I felt so grateful and curious learning of these changes in your life, I am so appreciative you shared this part of your personal journey. So, speak up friend, I want to hear what you have to say!

When I realised that this fantasy I had created was not in fact true and you were actually just a normal person (albeit with far more exquisite taste that me) I felt sad and disappointed. But I now realise you are actually very inspiring because, like all of us you have been through hard times and you remain motivated to create beauty in your life and keep moving forward positively. Thank you for sharing a bit of your life with us and continuing to inspire me. imperfectly natural mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08851222967620246892noreply@blogger.com
