This post is a response to the prompt given by Holley Gerth this week.

And boy, can I relate to it! The last nine weeks have been a HUGE emotional roller coaster, with the blessing of a new baby being replaced by the terror of baby reflux and then the settling into the realisation that this too, no matter how tough it is, shall pass…

And yes, just like in the prompt, I do struggle to dissociate myself from the circumstances. Yes, indeed, I am the mother of a second reflux baby, I have PND, once again and  I did need mum’s help, just like last time…

BUT, in the same time, I am myself, Oana, a person who loves reading and blogging, who is passionate about social causes, who likes pizza and going out for a good cup of coffee and a strawberry and white chocolate bun.

I make mistakes, just like anyone, but have learned to live with the consequences.

I would love to make this blog do even better and am in the passive process of thinking it through and deciding what I could do to see it soar to the top.

I love holidays when spent with the people I love and in a warm and pleasant environment.

And most of all, I am God’s daughter, living with the active expectation of seeing Him intervene in our circumstances, in His own time and according to His will. Until then, all I can do is enjoy every moment I can, take every day as it comes and TRUST that He will not let me get overwhelmed or overtired again…What else could I do?
