Reflecting is a funny thing, whether it be reflecting on yourself, others, situations or anything really. For me, at this present moment, I find it liberating. The past six months have been the most tumultuous yet at the same time, the most amazing experience of my life. There have been clear blue sky days, grey days, foggy days, and many many ominous dark dark cloudy days just like when the storm rolls in.
Funny as it seems, having, acknowledging, accepting and seeking professional help for my Post Natal Depression (PND) has been most rewarding. I have become and continue to become a better mother, a better wife, a better friend and a better person. I have found myself to be stronger, more resilient, tougher and surprisingly fierce. Fierce is one word that I never would have identified with. However, after an incident (one of a few) with my mother in law, I walked away with this sense of fierceness, one that I shall shield my son with and stand up for my rights as his mother - like a lioness looking out for her cubs. That I think was one of the first times I felt the grey fog had lifted and I could see a glimpse of the bright blue sky.
