It occurred to me today...I feel happy, properly happy and content, for the first time in a while. I'm busy, I'm tired, I never make it to the end of my weekly 'to do' list, but, it's all ok. Making the decision to slash my working hours, being able to spend more time with Sophia, and on my studies, it's one of the best decisions I've ever made in my life. And I think Sophia is happier for it too.

My studies are going really well, I just had another hypnotherapy weekend so if you want to stop smoking or get rid of a phobia let me know, those were the topics of the weekend! I'm still trying to kick my dissertation off the ground, but will get there soon.

Spring is here, one week ago it was was miserable and grey and the next there are the bright bobbing heads of daffodils and crocuses cheering the ground, and the big fat buds on trees and shrubs readying themselves to burst forth and share their glistening luminscent green newness.

Things are good. And I intend to enjoy this happy part of my life.
