I’m pretty sure it’s not December.
Yet this morning I noticed that the radiators have a little heat to them.
Apparently, the heating fairies have been in the night and turned the dial up because my boy really needed his clothes to be warm when he puts them on and he’s tired of the towel not being hot when he gets out of the shower 😂
Apologies for the radio silence on emails / blogs over the past few months, our lives have been incredibly busy and I struggled to find the time to write anything for a few days, which became a week, which became a month.
Our kids are getting older, as they do, and staying up later. I was still trying to find time in the evening when after their bedtime. It didn’t happen.
Time for a new plan.
The time for a new plan was months ago but I was stubbornly holding on to the ideal I had in my head. I liked writing in the evening, it cleared my mind / brain ready for bed.
Ideals can be amazing, often they lead to you not getting anything done or even started because it’s not the “right” time.
When is the right time?
Now.
You simply need to get started.
If you want to eat better, commit to doing so today. Have one less biscuit at work, cook an extra portion of vegetables with your evening meal.
If you want to get fitter, head out for a quick walk around the block when you first get home, out of the car and straight around the block, if you get in the house life could get in the way.
It doesn’t have to be much, just do something.
I’m not going to wait for the stars to align, I’m committing to writing most days again, the time of day will just be when I get a few minutes.
