It was amazing to look out over the land, to see town from up high. To see the sandhills on the horizon. To be on par with Mount Muirhead, when usually we are looking up to it from town. My uncle says it's the only landmark he can see when out on the deep ocean in the boat.
It's quite peaceful out here too.
I needed some time out from the kids, and the house. Brett had gotten back from a camping trip the day before and I wasted no time in flying out the door that morning, on my own. Even though I did take my son with me, and I wasn't alone recharging my batteries, my soul felt replenished. I felt the fresh air wash through me and for that morning everything was alright in my world.

Gorgeous photos. Shame you had to edit them due to a dirty lens. We had a big trip about this time last year and I took hundreds of photos, only to find marks on all of them. Sadly for me it was dust on the lens and it required a professional clean. I still haven't gotten around to editing all of the photos either.
ReplyDeleteStunning photos! And I'm glad your son is finally getting the support he needs and that you can breathe a bit easier as a result!

These images are wonderful! Such a pain when your camera has issues! I am about to blow serious cash on an upgrade due to motor failure inside one of my camera's lens. Oh well but great too huh?!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to catch up with your older boy too. Xx
My camera is one of the things I dread having problems with. That and my computer, or the internet lol.
DeleteOh how wonderful to see your photos and of places in Australia I have no idea about. I am getting educated for sure!! It was great you got to take your son with you. Gosh, such a responsibility for you...and I "know" you are his Mum...but when kids become adults we don't think about this much yet, you are so needed. I hope you too are making sure you are well-cared for. Have you considered finding someone professionally to chat with? I know it's helped me via my GP and a MHCPlan. D xx
ReplyDeleteThe options are there for me to have someone to vent to, and I agree it does help immensely. It is up to me to seek it and put aside the time for it amongst the craziness that is life x
DeleteSo pleased to hear you are spending more time with your boy and that he is following a treatment plan. Getting out into nature is good for every soul x
ReplyDeleteI'm glad your son is getting the love and support he needs as these are vital in any mental illness. I come from a family who has a history of depression and schizophrenia and I honestly believe that support, understanding, and self-care are vital in battling this, as well as faith. xx
