5 for Friday

August 19, 2016

Hello my dear readers, 5 for Friday post is here! I’ve been dwelling on should I, or should I not write today’s post but then I was like: “What the heck?!” and I’ve decided to do it. I didn’t have a good week… It was actually one of the crappiest ones and bad weather didn’t help the mood. I always want to and try to inspire and bring only good and positive vibes to my blog and Instagram feed, but sometimes… Sometimes, I’m just a human, I hurt, I don’t feel good and from time to time, I think that it’s ok to say it out loud and call it a day. Or week.

When the clouds are too dark and heavy, it’s hard to follow that little glimpse of sunshine trying to peek through the gloominess, but I did try my best to remind myself, each day to find that one little good thing that keeps me going and gets me through the day.

Lots of listening to the music ( some songs on repeat for half of the day 😀 ), some cooking which always relaxes me and testing out some new, out of my head recipes, walking outside to get some fresh air, no matter what’s the weather, getting dressed up and ready even if I didn’t feel like and meeting blogger colleagues and friends at my favourite cafes in the city were pretty much things that were super helpful.

The biggest one though was to see my daughter have great times at school! I was so stressed about how she’s going to like the school and if she’ll make friends easily, but I see now that the stress was for nothing because she LOVES school and literally can’t wait to go back the next morning. 😀

How are you? What did you do this week?

      Thank you my dear! Yes, she really did had a great start to her first year at school and I’m happy about it, takes a lot of stress away, because I’ve been all the time wondering if it’s all going to be alright and if she’ll find good friends, etc. 🙂

    Svi ponekad imamo loše dane i nažalost ih ne možemo izbjeći, bez obzira koliko se trudili. I mislim da je sasvim u redu ponekad i na blogu to pokazati, ipak smo svi od krvi i mesa, a i svi povratni komentari će te sigurno oraspoložiti 😀 Želim ti lijep vikend i još ljepše vrijeme! 😀

      Bas si super rekla, “downs” su jednako dio zivota kao i “highlights” i ok je reci/ podijeliti da nekad stvarno imamo los tjedan, kojeg bismo najradje prespavali, ali mozda bas onda kad to podijelimo ovako, pomognemo nekom drugom tko je isto imao los i neproduktivan tjedan i koji ce se osijecati bolje jer nisu “sami” u takvoj situaciji.

    I’m sure the ‘one little good thing ‘ to get you through the darkest of days has to be your daughter. And I am so happy to read that she is enjoying going to school. She is going to have so many friends (just like her Mother), and there will be so many parties to attend, you will be rushed off your feet. And you know what? You are going to love every minute.
    Here, I’ve had a bad week too.
    High pollen counts have made my eyes itchy and sore and hardly able to see. This in August!! What’s the World coming to?
    Well, Natali. I hope this weekend goes well for you.
    Hugs, Jo
