I just realized on Friday that I haven’t posted in almost a month. Wow. I really, truly cannot believe how fast that time has passed. The past four weeks have been a huge, stressful whirlwind of stuff. Everything was happening all at once, and I didn’t have enough time to do all of the things that I really had to do, let alone the things I wanted to do – like blog.

This past week, frankly, was pretty torturous. But the silver lining is that things are slowing down now, Stress is fading, I’ve got fewer things to do, and more time to go back to doing the things I love (which, at the moment, is sleeping in and relaxing). I’m keeping calm (and carrying on), taking each day as it comes and not worrying about the future.

During all that stress and mania, I felt like I lost touch with myself. I pretty much kept my head down and powered through, and that really wiped me out. I didn’t feel like myself.

And then I realized that I haven’t really been being myself for a while now, cheesy as that sounds. So I’ve been relaxing and focusing on regaining a sense of self, and I’m feeling a lot better.

And, on Friday, I came back here to sarah kate style. I started playing around with headers and links and CSS, which I really kind of love, and it reminded me how much I love blogging. (You may have noticed the new header and altered navigation bar.) So I began whipping up a ton of posts that will start appearing on Monday.

At the moment, though, I’m really, really looking forward to my trip to the UK this summer. In just a little over a month, I’ll start packing up all of my necessities for two weeks abroad. I’ll be spending my birthday there, too, and I’m planning on a twilight dinner cruise on the Thames – so I’m really starting to dream of the view above.

I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
