How is January nearly over?

Still haven't dipped but I gave in a bought a robe ('dunnayes' finest not a fancy one) but hoping it will encourage my to get out in February knowing I'll be warmer after!

I did get out for a fast paced walk as I needed to clear my head and was getting too dark to get the horse out, I have to say it really helped just getting your heart rate up and the fresh air works wonders!

I listened to pace setter which was great for getting me to pick up my pace a bit.

Still working out my plans for the year ahead, still to sort my website but I have done my tax return woohoo! And popped some valentines cards up though I'm hoping to do a few new ones. I know valentines isn't everyone bag and cards get a bad rep due to the whole commercial side of valentines but I love an excuse to make a card for my husband and get crafty with the kids.

I have been easing into January and feel it is definitely a month for taking things slow, taking stock and rather than writing down big plans just allowing time to mull things over and wonder about possibilities.

It is ‘blue Monday’ today and considered by some the most depressing day of the year.

Whether you are feeling blue today or not I hope you take a moment to be outside breath in that wonderfully fresh air today and give yourself some time to have a think about what wonderful things might lay ahead!

Wishing you a very belated happy new year!

Was drawn to this illustration challenge by ‘s angry hippo I’m bit late to the party but decided to join in as I really want to do the angry prompt.

my illustrations usually lean towards positivity but I was talking to someone recently and they were asking how I was and for the first time I admitted I was angry! It takes a lot to make me angry and I think the person was a bit taken aback and possible didn’t quite get it as I was talking about my mum who has a dementia, most of the time I’m really sad about the situation but other times I’m just so angry about the unfairness of it all.

My mum should be enjoying her retirement..thought likely she would have been working away doing markets well into her 90’s, enjoying painting holidays to France and enjoying talking to anyone and everyone… but she has been robbed of these joys and I know I sound like a child but it’s just not fair!

I think as we get older we forget how to have a good scream and let all that anger out so if anything is making you angry i hope you can go to a mountain or just down to the sea and have a good scream/shout! That is one of the many joys of cold water swimming you can go in scream and everyone just thinks it’s because of the cold!

Loved this saying that my friend carol used the other day not sure if she made it up or if it’s an actual saying?

I’ve found when you talk to some people about sea swimming particularly in our chilly Irish Sea people frequently like to say “you’re not wise”

I think everyone should try sea swimming as an adult at least once and if it’s not for you that’s fair enough but I’m pretty sure most people will get addicted!
