Catching up on my 365 Photography Diaryā¦ because life doesnāt always pause when you forget to post. š¤
Some days Iāve been present but quiet. Healing, working, loving, grieving, laughingā¦ and sometimes just surviving. So hereās my little catch-up from Day 35 to Day 50.
Day 35 ā Spring is finally showing her true colours, breathing fresh life back into the earth. The daffodils are blooming, golden and hopeful, reminding me that brighter days always come. š¼
Day 36 ā A brand new read begins now Iāve finished my cowboy s**t seriesā¦ and now the long wait for the next installment starts. Book hangover is real. š
Day 37 ā My little mare. My heart. The cuddles, the kisses (all for a sugar-free polo), the scratches in the fieldā¦ she has no idea how much she keeps me going while I canāt fully look after her.
Day 38 ā Holiday booked! Tunisia in April for my beautiful sisterās 30th. Sunshine, celebration, and something special to look forward to. āļø
Day 39 ā āA robin appears when loved ones are near.ā I saw two robins playing in the garden this morning. You never truly get over losing someone, you just learn to carry the love differently each day. ā¤ļø
Day 40 ā How shiny is my gorgeous Lacy coming out of winter? I may not be able to do everything for her right now, but I can still give her a proper brush and remind her sheās loved.
Day 41 ā Almost Valentineās Day. My first one with someone very, very special. The only photo? A menuā¦ because I forgot to take one until then. Typical me.
Day 42 ā How can such a princess love mud so much? Lacy never used to rollā¦ now sheās living her best hippo life. Good job I adore her.
Day 43 ā Comedy night! The trio reunited and what a laugh we had. Happy tears, aching cheeks, and the best company.
Day 44 ā Lunchtime walk at work and in the field at the bottom of the hillā¦ the most majestic sight. Calm, powerful, free. A reminder to breathe.
Day 45 ā Valentineās Day ā¤ļø My first with someone I truly care about. Handsome company, delicious food, and hopefully the first of many.
Day 46 ā Lacy, Lacy, Lacy. Look at those donkey ears. My beautiful black beauty. I couldnāt wish for more.
Day 47 ā A beautiful send-off for our Great Auntie. Sunshine, heartfelt words, and stunning flowers (she loved elephants). A life honoured so gracefully.
Day 48 ā Parking on grass at workā¦ two craters later and mud flying from my truckās enormous tyres. Apologies to everyone behind me for the mud shower. š
Day 49 ā I actually forgot to take a photograph. The first missed day in nearly 50. Proof that Iām human after all.
Day 50 ā One of those āmehā days. Head heavy, body tired. Back to full-time work, trying to swim, not eating or drinking properly, and still counting down the last stretch of 3 months of not being allowed to fully care for Lacy. So tonight, I fed her, cuddled her, gave her a kiss and a sugar-free poloā¦ and put myself to bed early. Tomorrow is another day.
This diary isnāt about perfection. Itās about real life. The messy, muddy, magical, emotional in-between moments. And Iām still hereā¦ still showing up. š¤āØ
