I am a smiling person by disposition. My husband calls me the sunshine but that does put a lot of pressure in me as the mood in the home is dependent on how much sunshine I can dispense 😀 As I am always smiling, most people start asking questions and assume that something is wrong…
I long since stopped chasing perfection. It only adds to stress and anxiety. Instead I chase progress and improvement. So when I am describing my perfect day, it possibly will not go exactly as I am describing but close enough would do 🙂 My day would start by waking up after a full night sleep….
I am not a worrier. I have never been the one to brood even as a child. I was called happy go lucky when I was young and as I grew older, I took life in my stride with all its disappointments, accolades and ups and downs. My mantra is let life flow and I…
