It’s been an emotional roller coaster of a week, yet again. Is this what’s in store for me in 2022? Yikes! I hope not. Having a week full of ‘Mother’ dramas. I know I don’t go into things in a lot of details on that front – it’s complicated.
This week’s SYW questions…
Questions:
Which traditional Valentine’s Day gift would you rather receive: chocolates, flowers, or a card with a personal message? Not a big one for Valentine’s day, myself. Not really a hopeless romantic. However, if anybody is to give me anything it would be flowers (I can photograph) or chocolate (I can eat – obviously). My Hubby had the day off from work (to see a specialist) so we went out for lunch, which was nice.
Do you like romantic movies? I like rom-coms, and some lovey-dovey movies. It really depends. I liked Ghost and Titanic and they are love movies. Under a Tuscan Sun and so many others. So I guess the answer is yes…but there are some I really didn’t enjoy. Love Actually comes to mind, I watched it, it was OK, but not brilliant.
Is Valentine’s Day only about romantic love? Or is it a good occasion to celebrate friendship as well? I think Valentine’s day is too commercial. I love who I love every day, family, friends etc.
How do you deal with unwanted romantic attention? Apart from unwanted business attention (Spam and such) I have not really had unwanted romantic attention as such. Well, at least not for a very long time. lol
GRATITUDE:
Share one or two of your favourite memories of your special loved one if you’d like. So many memories to share, old and new. I think that is one of the lovely things as we get older, the many memories we collect along the way. Just at the moment, I am so grateful for my support team in this current trying time, my Hubby and Daughters, my Aunt, several very good friends who know our history. I am also thankful to the Hospital staff, who actually listened to me for once. Having other people realise it’s not me that’s sick (finally), is such a relief.
Lots happening, shoots, classes, workshops, presentations and podcasts! Yes, I recorded my first podcast the other day. So that was interesting. I was just a guest speaker, but it makes me wonder if it’s something I should do?
Anyway, I hope everyone has a great week…

Thanks Julz for Sharing Your World! It sounds like your Valentine’s Day (aside from whatever problem arose) was just as you’d like. I’d LOVE Dexter as a Valentine 😍🧡💛💚💙💜❤ he’s such a photogenic fella, who looks absolutely SWEET. Aw. Gorgeous photo! I agree about the over commercialization of the day. It can make the solo person feel left out a bit if they let it. I had cupcakes (a no-no for me, but so good) and my day was great! I hope whatever worries have come your way are soon resolved and gone. Take care and have a wonderful week!

Sadly Mother has completely lost the plot and after, yet another suicide attempt, they have had her committed, so quite stressful as you can imagine
