The sun is well and truly out…

Whew.  I’m through the dark patch.

Hallelujah!

Man it’s not fun when you’re in the middle of it.  And not much fun on the wobbly edges of it.

Thanks for  your kind words and support.  You rock. ;)

My Mum and I did something together today that we have not done since 1990 in London.

We went shopping together.

Those of you who know me in real life know that I hate shopping.  With a passion.  REALLY dislike it.

But Mum and I went to the local shops to find the perfect present for my tall and beautiful first-born son who is turning 13 tomorrow.

And after we found the perfect pressie, we browsed a shoe shop, an optometrists and a crystal/meditation/hippy-woo shop where we bought 2 beautiful Indian shirts.

And we both laughed about the fact that the last time we did that together was when she was visiting me when I lived in London.

We crawled the Kings Road looking for the perfect blazer for my Mum.

And we found it.

And she still has it!

And now I’m remembering that visit, and feeling really warm and fuzzy and enveloped in my Mummy’s love.

********

So I’m using distraction therapy to get myself out of the dark patch.  And it’s been working.

I’m working on marketing my photography business.

I’m designing my business cards, my flyers, and planning my marketing strategy because I’m determined to make this business fly.

I wish I could promote my business on this site, but I still need to maintain my anonymity in order to freely discuss the family court stuff.

Still, if anyone wants a photographer in the Sydney area… :) .

    So glad to hear. I love to shop in theory but in practice it is all so tiring and stressful. I am glad you enjoyed it. Oh goodness. Teenager! Scary -I should know!

    i became a mother exactly 3 months to the day before you. don’t you love this age?! such joy, such love. you certainly lucked out in the kids and parents department, even if the spouse part was a flop :-) and happily, i lucked out in the kid and spouse part, even though the parent segment lacked. and somehow things just work out after all.

    It’s so nice to see you feeling happy!!!

    I’m glad you had some shopping-bonding time with your mom. I’m not a big lover of shopping either, but it can have it’s fun moments.

    I think distractions are a great way to handle depression/dark times. My feeling is even if you still feel sad during it all, at least you can look back and know you got some stuff done.
