Ok here’s a classic Roseann brain dump because life is too short to be generic and my scatter brain is in a flow state.
Anyway, I just wanted to say how friggin grateful I am for my crew. This hasn’t been the easiest year for us. We’ve had some really s**t things happen on all fronts.
Things that I know can break families apart when the stress becomes too much. So I’m really proud of our kids for showing resilience, understanding and adapting like they have. I’m also proud of Mike and I for knuckling down and facing the s**t show that is this year, together.
But we also have a lot to be grateful for. This month Mike and I celebrate 20 years of marriage! We made those vows when we were just 18 years old 😵The fact that we are still doing this life together, raising these kids to the best of our abilities is something I’m really proud of. It also means we’ve gone through a lot, changed a lot & still continued to choose one another time and time again.
It’s also our 15 year family business anniversary too. We built it out of necessity to support the life we were creating together. We spent YEARS in survival mode trying to create a workplace we’d actually want to wake up and work in and somehow we did it.
So while we have our health, each other, our kids (and our fur babies), we will do what we do best. Pop on our shoes, tie up our laces and get on with it.
For me… that looks like taking on guardianship for both my parents & moving them up to QLD. Accepting each of our children for who they are & making sure they know they are loved. Supporting them and their big dreams, preparing them all for a world that will challenge them.
Oh & knowing that our s**t show renovation, which would make a great A Current Affair episode, won’t break us. It’ll just become another ridiculous Hall story we survived until the next one.
If any of this sounds familiar, it’s one day at a time. But always guard your mind and body xo
Ok, brain dump over 😵🤣🤧
