I’m just about to finish work and again, I had that thought: “When was the last time I posted?” – I keep wondering why am I so bad but I guess we are moving forward from blogs. Who is still blogging? Am I just trying to hold on to something that is extinct?

We’ve recently visited Spain and started rewatching Sex and the City series and it brought this desire in me that I thought had vanished a long time ago. I feel like I want to get back into my writing, try and have that morning coffee accompanied by a short article in here rather than the Instagram scroll, daily Wordle and Connections.

But can I commit to this? What will my daily ramble be about? This calls for lots of inspiration and peace of mind and I don’t quite have any.

I did develop this habit of before bed affirmations. I didn’t take them from anywhere. One night I was lying in bed and I closed my eyes and said: “I am ending this day at peace with myself and the people around me. I let go of all negativity and am grateful for everything that was offered to me today!” – it made me feel better and I started doing it every evening. The message changes slightly every day but the main bit is there and I think it is bringing me to a calmer place, a place of understanding and peace, a place I have been looking for a while.

Daily chores, me time, life itself … they kept me in a cloud of frustration and I an way I felt demotivated, useless and with no direction whatsoever. Now I understand time management and I definitely need to work on that, on priorities and my wellbeing.

School is about to start next week and this will bring a bit more routine. I am pretty much determined to get into baking a little more as it is one activity that brings me so much joy and satisfaction, I am planning on decluttering my house slowly and try on budgeting – the one month rule: “Do I need this or just want it?” – put money on the side. If the item is still in my mind after a month, than I can buy it – I have to say that most websites I use had a few items in the basket and none was successful so far. All items have been dropped after less than a month. Who needs so many dresses, leggings, sports bras and trainers? I rather save for Christmas or a lovely holiday somewhere.

Next year I want to go somewhere I have never been. I want to visit more of the UK and also countries I have never been to: Portugal, Italy, Croatia, there is so much more of Greece to explore (maybe Santorini finally)

For now I will just be naughty and have a drink to celebrate my fiancé passing his driving test.

Tomorrow is another day …. and who knows what it has in stock for us all?
