I am so exhausted this morning! Yesterday about 15 of GG & BB’s friends came home to celebrate their 21st birthday! I can’t believe it’s almost 21 years since they entered this world. Theirbirthday is later in the week, but because BB will be away at camp, as will many of his friends, we decided to have the party yesterday. Next saturday we will have another one, this time with S’ extended family. I did a ton of cooking yesterday and will do the same next week too.

The author of today’s quote is unknown, but the quote suggests that people often live in a state of unawareness or complacency until they experience an awakening or realisation. The quote reflects the idea that we may go through life on autopilot, unaware of certain truths or realities. It’s only when something prompts a deeper level of consciousness or awareness that we recognise we were not fully conscious before. It can also be about personal growth, implying that true understanding, change, or self-awareness comes only after we “wake up” from old habits, beliefs, or illusions. The quote captures that moment of clarity when one becomes fully aware of their previous blind spots or ignorance, leading to a shift in perspective. This metaphor can be applied to various aspects of life, such as self-awareness, emotional insight, or a broader understanding of the world.

This weekend is going through in a blur and I still have things on my to-do list, so that’s all for this week! See you next week…
