Where have I been?

                  Busy
                      Buried in real life
                     Grieving
              My mum
                  My father -in-law
              My cat Jude
               All gone within two months.
       
          It left me empty, lost,
                 Emotionally raw

            I left work alone
                I needed space......to do stuff.......to do nothing
             To breathe, to re-evaluate
                     To cry and laugh
                To hug and be hugged.

                    I gave myself permission
                 To take time
                     All the time I needed.....still need
                 To heal, to remember, to just be.

               It's been a time to rest
                          Restore
                 Re-evaluate
                    To surrender and unfold.
          
                          I am returning
                  To new beginnings
                         To once again live a life
                       Of positivity and possibility.
