I don’t know where to start.
Lately, life feels heavy. The flu, the renovation, dentist appointments, leaving the rented flat, and endless to-do lists leave me stretched thin. Some days, it’s hard to believe things will get better.
I’m trying to accept that it’s okay to feel this way — to let the hard days be what they are without forcing positivity. I’ll keep writing, sipping tea, and finding strength in simply showing up.
Our house is filled with boxes and bags, furniture without a place, and the mess of unfinished spaces. It’s overwhelming, but I hold onto small joys — like pricking tiny plants and dreaming of the garden that will bloom one day.
Still, I need to make the garden beds first…. another big chunk…

I’ve learned that there are times in this life where you are down, then suddenly you are up again. We all go up and down through life’s trials, Ilze. I think of them as Eras too. You will rise again, Ilze! Hugs from far away. 😊
