I've been needing to get away from the house AND kids for some time for myself. It's has been obvious to me that I need to. It hasn't happened and is something I am going to have to organise, because I have been a total crabby McStabby and well because MENTAL HEALTH.
My quick getaway for the day is usually fishing. I think I'll be needing more than a day away though.
Over the weekend we all went fishing. Fishing with kids is far from calming, although I was happy to have all my kids along for the ride this day. We had heaps of bites, but didn't catch a thing. We tried at the drain and then at the jetty, where all I got was snagged, twice, and lost all my hooks and a sinker.
Even though we didn't catch anything, I was in my happy place. I spent a lot of time here when I was a kid. By the beach and fishing, the seaside really is one of my good for the soul places.
Everyone was happy and together, that is just a important to me as having some time out for myself.
Sounds like just what you needed. We don't often get to go or do things together that are our happy things. We've worked out camping works for it though. I am missing family time this week, time with my siblings and parents. Hopefully you get some time alone soon to relax and recoup.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous spot for a bit of fishing! Get yourself some time away girl - you'll feel soooo much better for it! :-) xo
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up. I can feel a bit of peace looking at your images. I'm glad it was happy for you.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't fish but had a night beside the Murray river - I loved it.
