Hey everyone,

It is 21.51 on a Sunday evening. I just got home from work a few hours ago and I am absolutely exhausted. This week has flown by because it has been so so busy and tiring! I really need another break…

I have just sat down with a hot drink and about to start my admin for the evening. I was just reflecting on the week and on life. I have found a little bit more enthusiasm as my job as a GP this week- had a few interesting work encounters and interactions with people and patients that made me really think about things.

I have been looking back a lot this week. Like I had mentioned in a previous post- it has been exactly a year since I learnt the devastating news that my father had cancer. And then slowly each day was more horrific, as was each moment until his demise. As much as looking back is a major part of me, I need to remind myself sometimes to look forward too.

I have a lot of things to look forward to- which sometimes in all my grief I tend to forget. I guess in life you just have to keep moving forward; to let go of the fear and regret that slow us down, and just try to enjoy this short time we have.

Hope you all had a good weekend and a restful Sunday.

With love,

Amina xo
