Four Somethings March

This month I am again linking up with Jennifers blog hop which you can find if you click the picture below..

The blog-hop encourages bloggers to share things we loved or disliked, accomplished, improved upon or something that needs improvement this month.

So here goes..

Something I have loved..

I have so much love to share with you this month beginning with Footy being back! Sitting front row with the man I loves arm around me as I yell at the umpires and cheer with the cheer squad again has been such a good feeling. Melbourne Storm each and every time we attend never cease to amaze me. No matter how hard my weeks been, I let ir all out at the footy. I love the oomph of the NRL and the body on body contact that gets my heart racing. I love when we score trys and win challenges and the way David looks after me when we're there.

I have also absolutely loved on my niece as she was pregnant with our first next gen baby. I have been there to love and support her the whole way through right up until her waters broke and I settled her in her hospital room preparing her as best I could for what she was about to experience next and on the 25th of March, she birthed her beautiful daughter Vienna. David and I met Vienna and saw my niece as a mama bear the following day. It was such a beautiful moment that I will treasure forever.

Also high on the love radar has been time spent with friends this month. I took the elders for s trip out to Diggers Rest Farmland, attended my friend Charmaine's 54th bithday with David and the kids out on her farm and today David and I enjoyed a beautiful Easter Lunch with our friend's Sharon and Adrian after helping them move into their new house last weekend.

But the highlight of this loved up love post by far is the love I now see daily from my besty in Brisbane now that she is a stay-at-home mama to my niece and name sake Sadie whom also celebrated her 1st birthday this month! After finding out that she didnt like her cupcake, Aunty Mel came up with the goods delivering to her 6 different flavors of ice-cream from their local Baskin-Robbins.

So much love this month, its been a blast!

Something I have accomplished..

My son actually upgrading his wardrobe! YAY!

This is a bit of a biggy for my 18yo son Jie whom likes to save his money and not spend it but when I took him on a very rare Mum-Son day to Savers the other day he bought himself 6 new pairs of pants, 5 new jackets/jumpers, 2 new gym tops and 4 going out shirts all for just $170.

Also accomplished this month is our rough draft for our Yarning Circle Groups next Adventures including a day of Bingo, creating our own Terrariums and even a trip to the butterfly house at the Melbourne Zoo! I post photos of most of our Yarning Circle events on instagram using the hashtag #meltonyarningcircle if you would like to see more.

Something needing improvement..

Bit of a big one this month has been just time management when it comes to work. I am still finding myself giving too much of myself for too long throughout my days to clients which leaves me working after hours filling in my paper work for the day. I really need to improve on this so that come Fridays, I don't feel like I need to back date to update my clients files.

Something noticed..

Something I have noticed most this month is my worth. I am worth the time I put into others. I am worth the love I freely give. I am worth the truth I seek. I am worth the presents people want to give me. I am worth the invitations to special events in peoples lives. I am worth the long chat when people have things on their minds to tell me. I am worth the effort I put into peoples lives. I am worth the few dollars for an Easter Egg. I am worth having my bed made for me before I go to sleep. I am worth the drink they get me after I have cooked four meals to please everyone. I am worth the place in the lives of the people I never gave up on. I am worthy of happiness of love of sharing and of the caring especially from the people I love, share and have cared for. I am worthy of it all.

But I have also noticed that people don't, won't and may never see my worth as much as I show up, love on, give, sacrifice, share, want to be there, truly care and want to celebrate all the little wins with them.

And I am becoming okay with that.

I'm becoming okay with me having me.

Because I refuse to let myself ever forget what I went through and overcome to be the woman I am today, the woman whom for a long time, never knew her worth.
