Jo Mother Dearest

It’s October 18th 2022, I’m curled up on my sofa with the cat, hygge to the max. Log burner, fairy lights, candles and mood lighting, the perfect setting to restart my blog. I have lost access to the old blog site so had to kick in with another although those old dusty ones are still there to read.

It’s a funny thing, when I searched for my old blog post I found that I did it on 19 October 2018. It seems I get this urge to write at this time of year. In fact by the time I have finished writing it will be exactly 4 years to the day.

A great deal has happened in this missing years and I intend to fill in the gaps as I go. It’s a tricky one trying to start to write again but in the past I found that eventually it just begins to flow and the hardest part is starting.
So I’m back

A beginning, a launch but of what? I have this creative urge to write or vlog and it rises in me every now and then, especially when I am overwhelmed by my consumption of social media. I, like most, can lose hours and hours scrolling and screen shotting, book marking things to look back at but never do. Gorging on other people’s lives and interests, quotes and beautiful images. Healings and funny moments filling my mind. It’s an addiction for sure. I have days where I say I’m not going to look but I always give in. Maybe if I busy myself writing and creating then it will leave less time for scrolling. Fingers crossed eh!

So this is a start, a place holder let see how I go. Right now it’s more for me and maybe future generations, if I’m really lucky. I would love to have been able to read something that my grandparents wrote about. I mean I have my Grandma’s coat which has her lipstick mark on it and I’m so chuffed that it’s a moment frozen in time…. Never to be dry cleaned away.

Time for bed though now but just know, all of the musings are my own here. My grammar may sometimes be off and my perspective but hopefully there’s no judgement.

Goodnight all
