Hello old friends! It’s been three years since my last blog post. (And even longer since my last confession… in case your brain leapt to that same turn of phrase that mine just did!)
I had a hiatus due to the sort of job I had (which didn't permit me to blog), illness (idiopathic thyroid eye disease - just hideous), and the feeling that I'd outgrown the mum blogging community because my children are now older.
Now I have a new job, new outlook and now there’s this - a blog group for bloggers in their 40s! Now you know my age, which is what the oversharing world of blogging is all about!!
I also didn’t have the time - such a common theme! Now, I’ve got a few more hours back in my life each week 😄
I’m managing to fill them no problem at all but I'm also keen to have the time to think, breathe and write again. Why am I saying again? I can’t actually remember the last time I had proper thinking time! Bizarrely, it was probably during my commute when I time to read a bit - Ruby Wax ‘Taming the Mind’ being the latest book to have intrigued me.
She manages to get across the message that you can control your thought processes not the other way round, while being candid about her own mental illness and describing how intricate parts of the brain work in a very digestible way.
Better than I can because I’ve just implied that the brain digests things, which is not what even my rudimentary understanding of human biology meant to suggest at all!
So head over to her book to get these things right!!
