Julia - yes please! Weekend brunch is a particular favourite of mine :)
Lost - unfortunately my children spoil any chance of a lie in, they are both under 5 so seem to enjoy getting up at 7am! But lazy mornings, walks to the park, pottering around in the garden, it all feels so good to finally feel 'normal' :)

Julia isn’t it wonderful? I think it’s called having a LIFE! LOL!
A relative who was being snarky, (actually, I think he was a bit jealous) asked me: “Well what are you doing with all your time now that you aren’t going to meetings, service etc? All I hear is that you’re out doing brunch or happy hour!!!” I said “OMG!!….besides being HAPPY and drinking to it, I now have time to dedicate to MEANINGFUL things like volunteering in the community. I just don’t talk about it! It's so much fun and very rewarding. I am meeting new people and learing some fascinating things!!!”
I guess he was trying to make me feel like my life was empty without the JW stuff. WHATEVER!
I LOVE and do not feel one ounce of guilt for going to bed at a decent hour during the week, not having to drag my tired body out in service on Saturday morning, not having to FORCE myself to go to the meetings on Sunday! There are no more assemblies and conventions I have to run around for and painfully sit through! Hallelujah!
In under 2 years, I am happier, no longer on anti-depressants, 3 dress sizes smaller, my brain is clear! Ummm…I think I will stay right here and enjoy MY LIFE!
SO CHEERS TO YOU JULIA! It gets better every single day! CHEERS! -
