Strawberry Moon and Apple Crumble

Work from home today.

It was a rainy, cold day, one of those grey ones where everything feels a bit slower than usual.

I spent part of the day ringing around to get quotes for the roof, it’s a priority before winter.

It’s the Strawberry Moon tonight.

They say it is a time of new beginnings and letting go of things that don’t need to come forward with you.

I sat and gazed at it last night.

It looked almost full, already bright, steady, and very beautiful in the sky.

I sat on my back step just looking at it, sitting with my own thoughts, thinking about the hopes and wishes I have moving forward, and the kind of energy I want to carry with me into the future.

I was waiting for the full Strawberry Moon tonight, but because it’s so rainy, It’s obscured by the clouds.

Went and had dinner with the kids. My daughter made apple crumble and pasta.

She’s going through the most difficult time with her health, but still makes sure everyone is looked after.

Got everything ready for the office tomorrow.

Bit of a boring day really, but steady.

Ordinary days like this still have their own weight to them when you look back on them.

No perfect advice. No easy answers. Just the parts nobody talks about. Messy, funny, lonely, and oddly beautiful. If you are the one holding everything together. Welcome to the Back Row!
