The little things that count...

Friday Morning. I was not really looking forward to the day ahead. One little thing changed my day before it started properly. I was getting ready for work. I went out to check on bumper bash outside my house (I only heard it happen, but went to make sure everyone was ok). On my way back into my gate I saw a vehicle driving past. It was our local security company. As the car drove past I saw something catch my eye and turned back to look at the car. The driver of the security vehicle was the first responder to my hijacking call. Every now and then he checks up on me. I hadn't seen in a while and thought he'd perhaps left the company. But here he was - huge smile and enthusiastic wave.

A question a few fellow festival/ market traders have asked recently. Where have you been? We haven't seen you in a while... I took a break from doing markets. It's been over a year now. I needed a break. The break was longer than anticipated however. It seems a little petty now, but I let people's judgement and nasty words get to me.

The past few months have been a bit of a roller-coaster ride. But in true "me" style, I am still standing. This time I'm getting back up stronger than ever. I'm finding myself again. It won't be overnight but I'll enjoy the ride.
