Theatre, festivals and family!
Another month has gone by but at least spring has officially now sprung. With the clocks going forward and with the lighter mornings and longer evenings, there is definitely a slight spring in my step today!
As I reflect on the first quarter of 2026, I am pleased with progress that I am currently making. There's been a few ups and downs and bumps a long the way but scheduling in time to focus on my hobbies, dreams and self, has enabled me to manage those times of self-doubt or low mood. I am looking forward to seeing what the next three months look like and I will continue to come back to self in times of difficulty.
Read on for my highlights, lowlights and lessons learnt!
My Highlights:
spending time with my pets and family (see photo on the left);
doing a wee bit of diamond art (pictured above);
seeing Sheridan Smith in Woman In Mind in Glasgow's Theatre Royal;
attending the Literary Escape Festivals and meeting lots of wonderful people;
watching The Ladykillers by Edinburgh People's Theatre;
and finally, running the Kilomathon Scotland (pictured below).
My Lowlights:
feeling lonely at times;
feeling like I don't belong in certain spaces;
and finally, feeling an overwhelming sense of responsibility to fix everything.
Lessons Learnt:
It's okay to feel lonely at times and remembering to enjoy my own company.
Reminding myself that I do belong in spaces and that I should take up space.
I am my only responsibility and that is an important responsibility.
A problem shared is a problem halved: speaking to others can help both emotionally and practically.
Being proactive and having a plan can help ease anxiety about the future.
