52 Weeks of Grateful: Plans



Sometimes when you have a 'big thing' that you have spent a goodly amount of time planning for and looking forward to, it can be an almighty crash when the event is over.

Such has kind of happened here.

No crash to speak of, but a restlessness. I can't decide if I want to move on the 'next big thing' or if I'm completely over all the big things entirely. I feel drained and a little bit colourless. I have little things to look forward to, but no definite plans for a big thing. That plus the kids have all been throwing up all week. Doesn't help.

But, this week I'm grateful for...


290. Plans - ya gotta have a plan. Something to aim for, something to excite you when the chips are down, something looming.

291. Disinfectant - see 'kids have all been throwing up all week' above. Sigh.

292. Selfies - I love them. They sum up our awesome adventure like no other photos possibly could. Us, in standard position, all over the world.


What are you looking forward to right now?



Meanwhile, on Village Voices, I'm talking about my beautiful garden this week. Pop on over and link up your own Grateful post.

I do know that feeling, it is nice to have big things to look forward to as well, just think Christmas... exciting I know;) Right now I'm looking forward to seeing my bestie tomorrow, I haven't seen her in a couple of years, I can't wait! Have a great weekend Bron. x

Oh Bron, you're probably still tired from your holiday, and then having to deal with sick littlies!
Be kind to yourself and have a bit of a rest xx

Buff said...

Totally agree - plans and dreams are what keep us alive, oh and busy!
Hope your house is now free of sickness.

Hi Bron..I think you need to plan to rest and recuperate for a bit...a holiday to get over the holiday is in order. While having a planned break..you can plan the next big thing!

Oh I just saw the previous post with all those selfies! Awesome! Hope your little ones are better in no time. I think it's exciting to have a plan, and motivating too... but having said that after a year of loads of big things going on I'm very much loving not having any big plans right now! x

Shelley said...

hehe I just read the selfies post! You're a pro.
I'm yet to master them, or even get a remotely nice one!
Hope everyone is recovering!

Someone once said you need three things in life...someone to love, something to do and something to look forward to.
And I completely agree...plans are a good thing!

Happy grateful day to you! Yes, a plan keeps things buzzing. We love plans here, but not vomiting so much. Hope the kids are better soon. Xxx

Donna said...

Even though I feel like such a commitment phobe I do love having plans to look forward to. Big or small, its nice to have something on the horizon you have set you eyes upon. Hope you find yours again soon x

I hope the weekend brings health and no more use for disinfectant!
I am looking forward to so much at the moment. I feel I have shifted in the universe and there is so much hope and excitement. It's a nice place to be, and for that I am grateful. x
