“My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.” ― Jim Valvano

Last week I was nervous as anything, with that dang observation hanging over my head.

Deep down I knew I should be ok, but there was still an element of self doubt.

I guess that fear is not a bad thing. It means that you really care about whatever is going to happen.

But one thing I had behind me, was the support of my parents, husband and family.

My Pops and Mum have always been there, right behind me, believing in me from the off.

Once I had received my feedback and let everyone know how I got on, I got this message from Pops.

Yes… emoji use runs high in my whole family!

It touched me that no matter what, his faith in me is unerring.

And to have the backing of all these people who love me and believe in me, is a blessing indeed.

If I have one wish for you all Peeps, it would be that you also have someone who believes in you, behind you all the way.

Happy Sunday Peeps!

Spidey

“When someone says “You’ve changed”, it simply means you’ve stopped living life their way.” – Unknown

Spidey and I don’t fear change. He, after all changes regularly, to a form that is not usual for the rest of us. But that is a little extreme!

The thing is, for the best part, we tend to live our lives, carve out habits that are instilled into us by the folk around us. Sometimes it takes us growing up, and finding our own beliefs and thoughts, to realise that what we are doing is not what we really want, but just what society dictates that we do.

If we are strong enough to make a change, be it turn to vegetarianism, take our faith more seriously or even standing up for ourselves, there will always be someone who it rankles against.

And it is not because we are doing anything wrong, it is because those we used to ‘follow’ are unfamiliar with the direction we have taken.

Don’t let this stop you from taking independent steps though. Our thoughts on this are that you listen to others to get opinions. Sometimes we all make mistakes in decisions we make, but, unless there is a good reason, stand by what you believe.

Be yourself, and be happy.

It takes all sorts to make this a wonderful world to live in. Life would be boring if we were all exactly the same.

Have a wonderful Sunday Peeps!

“Love your family more than your possessions, money, career or hobbies. That other stuff can’t love you back! – Dave Willis

Spidey felt we had to mention family today, seeing as I am travelling back to my parents for a few days, as I usually do in the holidays.

You know me.

My family truly mean everything to me and I would give anything to make sure they are happy.

My parents are my rocks. They are there, no matter what. I dread the thought of them not being there, even though I know it is inevitable…

My Brother and his little family, though far away, are always in our thoughts. We message, and Skype regularly, so the children, my two, and his little monkey, have that sense of family.

Then my own little family, my Hubby Dearest, Lil Man, Lil Princess and Furbaby, Sonu Singh occupy a huge chunk of my heart. They will always be the most important people in my life.

So I am off to enjoy time with my Pops and Mum, and to give Hubby Dearest time to miss me (absence makes the heart grow fonder, apparently!) and the kids!

Enjoy your Sunday Peeps, and your week ahead. Remember to give that little bit extra time to your wonderful families!
