Seeing With New Eyes
Discovering together

Yoga is wonderful…everyone should do it!  I’m now sleeping most of most nights and am not feeling so tired.  I have more patience to deal with the girls calmly and I am losing my temper far, far less often and far, far less dramatically.  Dh and Mum have been so wonderfully supportive and helpful.  I am just so pleased to be able to feel like a more capable mother again, instead of the piece of crap I was feeling like for quite some time.  I really lost all my confidence in myself as a mother, doing things I desperately didn’t want to be doing and hating myself for it.  It’s amazing what a few good nights’ sleep can do!  Our family feels happier and life is much more enjoyable for all of us.

  1. Pleased to hear you are feeling better :-) Sleep deprivation has to be one of the hardest things to cope with. I’m sure you will have been very capable throughout but it’s good that you ‘feel’ capable too now.

  4. Lovely post to read… swimming is my “yoga” if you kwim.

    Any chance you can make the font a bit darker? It might be the layers of accumulated debris on my screen, but its quite hard to read… (oh no, wait a sec… goes off and polishes glasses…)
