One day you think where did I go, that person that wanted to do so much, see so much, travel the world, experience life? It can either take a lot of courage to really change life or major parts of it to find your self or to be what some people see as selfish to actually live parts of YOUR life as you want to live it. Does that make sense, am I rambling? Quite possibly, been there, can you tell?

It makes me sad that those closest to you can't see your worth. I'm so glad you're back. You know we're all faking it really? Best thing someone ever said to me when I had post natal depression was that everyone is terrified, and no-one knows what they're doing, it's just that some hide it better than others. I always remember that.

Sometimes our feet get a bit tangled up in the weeds and we feel like we're getting nowhere fast and that's OK too. That's the universe telling you to sit down, take time out and the answers will come. Here's one of yours - you're back, and look how many other people's days you've brightened up as well.

Being a mum is the hardest and most important thing you do. It may feel that they do not appreciate what you do but when the going gets tough for them believe me it is their mum they turn to. Deep down every bit of love you put into them stays with them throughout their lives and makes them who they are. xxxChickpeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17010543012720394937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654141479722625610.post-60513161560548499772017-02-24T21:23:37.519-08:002017-02-24T21:23:37.519-08:00Hurray!

You do a wonderful job staying where you do to raise your boys in the beautful place where you live. I too hated not contributing financially to our home but what I did give was my love and time to those who needed it. I have only one child, your namesake, and of course it was so much easier to return to work thanks to a wonderful MIL. You are where you are needed at this time in your life and don't let others take that away from you.

Like Christina says this is the best thing that will happen all day. I do so love your writing. I am in that place as well, I do understand completely what you say. The childcare/house/everything job is the hardest at times I think. It is supposed to happen magically as if without effort, when in truth it can be overwhelming. You're a star Leanne, don't ever forget it. Clever, capable, a brilliant writer, kind, funny and a top mum. Sending you a cyber hug.
