Another week where I was exhausted. I think I was more tired this week as compared to last week because we hosted S’ extended family. And because I wanted my home to reflect us, I went slightly out of the way to ensure that my inlaws had nothing to nitpick about when they came over. The party was a hit and everyone loved the food that R and I made. Some of the recipes that I made yesterday and last week will slowly make their way here.

Today’s quote comes to us from American novelist, essayist, and non-fiction writer, Anne Lamott who is known for her candid, witty, and deeply personal reflections on faith, writing, motherhood, and the human experience. Lamott’s quote conveys a message of resilience and perseverance through challenging times. The quote suggests that the best way to navigate difficult or chaotic situations is to focus on small, manageable steps. By taking things one step at a time, we can move forward without feeling overwhelmed. Lamott emphasises the importance of taking a breath, implying that staying calm and composed is essential in dealing with life’s difficulties. Breathing serves as a reminder to pause, center ourselves, and approach challenges with patience. The simplicity of “left foot, right foot” reflects the need to focus on the basics, keeping things uncomplicated when life feels too much. It encourages persistence, even when the path ahead seems uncertain.

That’s all from me this week while I take some time off today to rest and rejuvenate so I can tackle next week with vigour and enthusiasm.

Keep smiling and be positive!
