Taking That Break
So, I've been stuck home for the last two weeks with the sniffles! It ran a muck through our household. Causing our somewhat 'routine' to become a chaotic 'jungle' of survival!!
Our 'little' person, is finally coming out of her drizzly, snotty stage and is out enjoying some special time with her Aunty. Catching up with duck friends at our local reserve and probably enjoying a bite to eat too!
This has given me some much needed time. Time to ponder on the last two weeks of hibernation (the best description I can give my readers).
Surprisingly, alot has happened during my absence to the "Real World". Alot of which I did not anticipate.
A lot of which, ofcourse. I do not want. - I have come under Scrutiny.
So, unfortunately instead of this post being about my latest cake - which I add was oh so challenging! A greatly - Anticipated challenge. One I refer to constantly since hibernation. To be one of the most rewarding exercises I have completed this winter. It is quickly becoming my point of reflection.. The completely hand-crafted Lego Ninjago cake I made for who I call one of my dearest friends. Her name Lui. She is a Mother to two beautiful children who are now also my Daughter's (favourite as she calls them) friends. This intelligent and faithful friend has supported me since day ONE! In my personal, and professional path she has shown me to value what is important and fight to keep it!
Images of her son's cake have been posted by admin on our Facebook page. I will also post these up following this post. I feel it deserves its own post and not a run-on from this post.
I didn't want this post to end up being one of banter but its beginning to look this way.
I am re-evaluating my priorities. One I was reminded by another friend to take!
So, sitting here on my comp, thinking about what an awesome haircut I was treated to yesterday, and sipping my living water. I type this:
I will be taking a break from Blissful Brownies. I am going to take this opportunity to build on some much needed one on one time with my Daughter. Often I get swirled into list of commitments. None of which include my daughter. So, at times like this. When I am exhausted from being sick. When everything starts to pile up from my absence. I reflect on how much time I HAVEN'T spent with my baby. I cannot be of any use to anyone if I am unhappy with the amount of time spent with her.
The next four weeks will be time spent with her. Getting out all those little projects that have been in the back burner... Blogging.. Spending time abroad with loved ones and gearing myself up for the next stage of my life... Welcoming our new Step-mom!
I hope that you can join me on my new adventure. I look forward to Blogging once again.
Happy baking All and God Bless
