Sunny Sunday Re-Potting
I woke in a very odd mood today. Feeling I wanted to jump out of bed and have a massive clear out - make space and get rid of. Which is not really possible as I have a lot of "stuff" here which belongs to my son who currently lives and works in Dubai, and also of course my 2 daughters belongings as they are away at uni in term time.
I did a bit of clearing, in an effort to resolve this feeling. Then I felt overwhelming sad and miserable, the feeling of missing my kids being the focus of the now streaming tears.
I had a good cry, which in fact I believe did me good. Last week at work I felt like crying several times due to so many impending changes and stresses but I didn't so it was good to let go and have the tears in the privacy of my own home.
After having some lovely cheese and tomatoes on toast (made by my partner to cheer me up) I felt a bit better and we went out to a local garden/home store.
I bought some compost and plant pots as several of my plants were in desperate need of a little more growing space. So by the time we got home the sun was shining and it was pleasantly warm to spend time out on the balcony re-potting.
They all look lovely now, the 5 cacti and a dwarf conifer tree, all standing proudly in the fresh new soil.
Silly me, I should have taken photo's - maybe tomorrow if I have time!

It's good to have a good cry sometimes when you feel overwhelmed. I guess it is not easy for a parent to be away from their children. Today, I miss my parents more than usual despite talking to them online everyday.
A good cry helps me a lot, especially when I'm missing my grandchildren more than usual. Cheese and tomatoes on toast sounds like good comfort food, and I'm glad you got out with your partner for a bit. I will be looking forward to your plant photos.
A good cry always makes me feel better, followed by some ice cream.
A good cry is like an internal spring cleaning I think. I've been spring cleaning lately too ... it's all very healthy.
Having a good cry does a world of good, no doubt.
I find getting my hands in the dirt, doing a little gardening (or re-potting!)is always quite therapeutic.
I find myself having way too many good cries lately. My hormones must be up and down or something.
I do hope you really are feeling better. Cheese and tomatoes on toast and a trip to the garden store would cheer me up too :)
Sometimes it good to have a cry. I'm glad that your day ended on a high note. If you ever get the urge to "clean out" again, your welcome over to my place. God knows it needs it. (I tend to save everything).
I too am having a big de-clutter at the moment, wellit is downsizing weekso there must be something in the air! LOL!
I am in constant menopause. Always crying
