Hello all,

Sometimes just doing the basics is so hard. It can be tough not to get down on ourselves when we’re struggling with things that ‘should’ be easy.

But we deserve to celebrate even the smallest achievements, because they are really feats of strength when you’re unwell. It’s ok if you can’t do everything. We know you’re doing your best, and that’s enough ☺️

What are 3 small (or big) achievements that you’ve had today?

For me: 1. I washed my hair

2. I drank two glasses of water

3. I sat out in the sun for 15 minutes

How bout you? Let’s cheer ourselves and each other on!

1. Drove my youngest children to a Peaceful Protest March and worried myself silly till they were back home safely lol. I'm so proud of our local Police who supported the march by protecting them.

2. Spent hours in the car with Learner drivers dropping off kids and things to people's homes. Phew.

3. Did some late night garden maintenance.
