I Miss Home⁣

I miss home⁣
⁣
I miss my family, I miss my Mum, my sister and my neices and despite the UK having a different mothers day, I felt snappy yesterday, a little bit anxious and at times sad too. ⁣
⁣
It's ok to not be ok all the time.⁣
⁣
Two things that really help me -⁣
⁣
1. Acceptance - I've leaned deeply into accepting what is. Accepting I have 0 control over the borders being open. Instead being eternally grateful for what I have, the memories I hold and for technology. I've fully accepted it may be another year or even 2 before I see family, I have accepted my Mum may not be here or remember me next time I get home. It was tough to get to this place; there were lots of tears but being here now and fully accepting no longer leads to frustration and anger. ⁣
⁣
2. Have fun and live in the now - LIVING is the greatest gift. I tell jokes, I laugh at myself, I show up as all of me as a gift to my Mum. I take the piss out of myself and don't try and fit into a box. Yes, I can't see family but I am so privileged to have a family and I live happily with so much joy in my heart for them.⁣
⁣
So let's have some fun ⁣🤣
