this seems like such a great goal, whilst a bit scarey too. It will do me good to get out of my comfort zone !

i buy flowers for myself every week.
I would rather go without decent food or other necessities than not have them in my home.
My Nan in her wisdom told me when I was very young ‘you are always rich when you have flowers’, they give you so much.
There have been times when Ive been REALLY broke but still bought a humble bunch of daffodils, that have cheered me when things were grim.
Buying flowers for yourself rocks !
in which to scream !
Ok. Things in my family are not going well.
My Mum’s ‘partner’ of 8 years died this week after a very rapid illness of a month in which he had bowel cancer.
My Mum is distraught.
Myself & my only brother never really bonded with him, but kept quiet about the snide remarks from him, because after all our Mum was happy & we are grownups.
Ive spent the week supporting Mum & helping all I can, which has been exhausting, but ok.
Unfortunately, yesterday his will was read & the S* really has hit the fan!
He has left a lot ( & I mean A LOT ) of money to one of my Mums grandchildren & not the others (She only has 3 !!!) For no reason any one can fathom.
He has left another very large sum for his only sister & nephew but nothing for the neice, from the same family!
He has two step-children whom he has left nothing.
And on it goes….Blah !
Without going into private details, its like he’s made things as bad for all concerned as he can.
My poor Mum is cracking up, some people dont want his money whilst others want to contest to get all they can !
My god,its a nightmare.
I am going to TRY to keep as objective as I can. I have no interest in the money or who gets what. It was his to leave, but I question his motives in not treating the children & his own family equally.
So….. I need some strength, space & normality to get me through the next few months.
Luckily my son & husband help with these things, but perhaps a few cheers along the way will help me too.
