Two years on ...

TWO Years
where on earth has that gone ?!

I can tell you where I was on
& how I was feeling...

but our journey back
towards living in our own home again
is very nearly over.

So today I remember
what I've learnt from our experience.

- There are worse things in life than this.
- I am much stronger than I thought.
- I have the most amazing resilient kids ever.
- Trauma tests a marriage but ours is still strong.
- We love & value having my parents live close.
- True friends know when to help & when to listen
& I have some fabulous friends :)
- Enjoy today as you don't know what tomorrow brings.
- Do more of what makes you happy.
- Home is people not a place.
- Those things you thought you couldn't live without,
well you can!
- Stress has turned my hair grey!
- Never believe a builders time schedule!!

Love you guys

  2. Sheena my dear, I have just gone back & read through your blog. You have been to hell & back, what has amazed me is your resilience, not just because of what happened 2 years ago, although that in itself took guts, sensibility & courage, but, being a follower of everything Scrapagogo (proud past designer) I never knew, it never came across in your posts, LOs etc.?! You are such a strong lady & from an outsider looking in, you never seemed to miss a heartbeat .... I applaud you Sheena Rowlands, I'm not sure I could do what you have done? your one hell of a lady!!! xx
