With Autumn comes change!
I love the fact that we have seasons. We are so lucky to experience so many types of different weather throughout the year. It's funny how quickly Autumn creeps up on you...one moment you're enjoying those balmy Summer evenings and the next you're clearing the garden away once the kids have gone to bed, and there's a real chill in the air. That chill can be so refreshing after so many hot nights - especially when you have a really hot, sweaty baby!
I always think Autumn is really symbolic of change too and it feels like Mum and I have been going through such a process of change here at The Seashack. Our little business has evolved so much. For a long time now we've been testing things out, trying different products, moving towards the direction we now want to go in. I can't tell you how many set backs we've had along the way. Sometimes it feels like everything is against you and you wonder if you are really supposed to be doing this? But something is always there, niggling at you, reminding you not to give up and to keep going!
And it's a funny time of year with all the changes. It can be unsettling and uncomfortable waking up to those dark mornings. And only today I went out and there's Christmas things in your face already! I'm sure it's only just been Summer?! I've realised lately even more than usual that happiness comes from within and mindset has a lot to do with your quality of life. Do you choose to see all the niggles throughout your day or are you mostly seeking out and focusing on the better stuff?
I for one am trying my best to focus on the important things...slowing down to enjoy as many moments that I can...and just living and savouring the chaos and the calm times.
