hello lovely friendlikins!

HAPPY WEEKEND! how are we all? hope your'e fine n dandy! long time no see. my bad. this would be due to a lack of health/lack of motivation/lack of internet. as you can see i've been feeling a tad meh. do you get a bit meh sometimes? i sure do when i let my anxiety or lack of health become too much or when i let little things upset me. generally i'm doing a whole lot better health wise but really struggling with motivation. how do you get motivated? i've been praying for strength + that i would be working hard for Jesus - that i would be finding my purpose + meaning in Him. i've also been reading some helpful bible passages, to get a better perspective.

i'm working on trying to achieve one main goal each day; whether it's one of my {52 things before 25} goals or something else that really needs to get done. i'm also working on achieving little goals through out the day like going for a walk, calling someone + doing some housework. it's been tricky trying to start my own business with no experience + feeling meh. but i know that if i bring things to my AWESOME God in prayer + trust that with His strength i can move mountains!

as part of my {52 things before 25} goals i'm working on reading the bible in a year, memorising passages + a chapter, and committing to reading + praying more - as i've been struggling for a while to do so. would you like to join me? would be lovely if you do : )

love love

{valentine's day}

hello friendlikins!

how are you this fine day of love? did you remember that it's valentine's day? is love in the air? i ask as i'm at home, my husband fast asleep at midday after a conversation last night that went something a long the lines of.

wifey: "so... do you want to do something for valentine's day tomorrow?"

hubby: "no. i wasn't planning on anything - it's too commercialised, so i've never gotten into it."

wifey: "oh... well i guess it's good that i didn't plan anything then."

it's true that i hadn't planned anything but i was going to do some last minute things today. what do you think about valentine's day? i used to feel the same way that tommy does - i never got into the whole flowers, chocolates + teddy bears holding hearts thing. maybe it's because i never received any. i did get a love note one time though... anywho! now that i'm married i feel different about valentine's day. i feel like it should be a day to embrace love - to go all out to be generous + embarrassingly over the top but in a non-commercial kind a way.

here's what i'd like to do/receive: {there's always next year, right?!}

*** the day would start with waking up to find a box full of hearts, with love notes + love vouchers!

*** i would then use my breakfast voucher - to then discover that pink ombre pancakes have already been made + the house decorated with hearts + love messages!
