Tears are summer showers to the soul.

Who am I?
I am…
…sometimes grumpy, sad, insecure, afraid.
…sometimes excitable, caring, fun, happy.
…sometimes full of life, looking forward, seeing the opportunities in each day.
…sometimes weary, lethargic, frustrated, can’t be bothered.
…sometimes loved up, wanting to spend time with hubby, pretending we’re grown ups.
…sometimes afraid, want to hide away from the world, not deal with anything.
…sometimes mom, guiding, supporting, education my beautiful children.
…sometimes lonely, overworked, feel a failure.
…sometimes enjoy good company, smiling, laughing, making memories, having fun.
…sometimes I need to be alone, quiet, reflective, in my own space.
…sometimes I get dressed up to the nines, sometimes I lounge around in my pj’s.
This is me.
Who are you?
It’s the little things 07/08/16 *The holiday edition!
Spending time with my family IS my happy place.
Here’s a round up of some of the moments that have made me smile this week whilst we were on our holidays.
Okay – clearly I took advantage this week! But there were so many happy moments that it was difficult not to!
Hope you find your sunshine and smiles amongst the clouds this week.

Monthly Challenge: Creating Poetry From My Playlists
Looking for inspiration to create poetry – look no further than your iPod!
Seriously!
I thought I’d have a bit of fun with this month’s challenge as it’s the holidays.
I got the idea for the playlist shuffle game from Kristian. If you’ve not played before you basically put an iPod playlist on shuffle and write down the first line of the first ten songs that play to create a poem.
This is my gym playlist so it’s pretty heavy and a little risqué! But it’s actually not a bad poem…
She’s a steel thrill suicide
Am I going insane?
I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout, thinkin’ ’bout sex
Give me the flammable light
Naked pictures on my telephone
Hey, how long have you been crawling with the sick and appaling?
No ones laughing now
My life is perfect, so you believe
Each day is a war
I did my time and I want out
Songs
Cyanide Sweet Tooth Suicide – Shinedown
Your Betrayal – Bullet For My Valentione
Anything Goes – Guns ‘n RosesÂ
Something From Nothing – Foo Fighters
