I normally post on Sundays or Mondays but I was behind with a post on my seasonal living blog The Seasonal Life, so I'm posting today instead. :)

Also, I thought I'd post a picture of my painted nails, for a change! The colour is called lilac but I thought it wasn't quite that, lol.

We're halfway through the year, so it's time for my annual mid-year reflections post! It's late this year but never mind, lol. I started writing them in 2017 (8 year, although my first one was in May, so just before mid-year. You can see my previous posts below:

I also write an end-of year post. Here is 2024's: https://fallingpetalsuk.blogspot.com/2024/12/letting-go-of-2024.html
The first half of the year was quite difficult for me, due to personal issues. I've been struggling with anxiety (specifically health anxiety) a lot. I may do another post in my Healing Health Anxiety series, which I wrote back in 2016.
Similarly to last year, I mainly went to Happy Café meetups (organised by Action for Happiness) and to the park a few times. Also to the beach. I most often went to the park and beach as part of my celebrations for sabbats (seasonal festivals). I write about my celebrations for those on my seasonal living blog The Seasonal Life.
I haven't belly danced so far this year but I did meet up with my dance friends at a pub in March, which was nice. I hope to do some dance related things later this year.

I normally post on Sundays or Mondays but forgot to write my monthly Gratitude List last week, so I'm posting today instead! :)

*I was feeling really down and wanted to do something to feel better. After reading an email newsletter from Diana of The Chic Life about making a Joy List and doing what brings you joy, I decided I'd like to go to the park around sunset. :) Here's a picture I took:
