I don't know if many of you find yourself in these situations; when things just feel hard. You can't find a positive in the day and your happiness has gone on holiday while you're still slogging it out, "just getting through". I have to say, life in Melbourne has made this a very unique feeling for me. Never once did I experience this living in Queensland or Sydney and hands-down I think the weather is 95% to blame. Whenever I felt a little down on the Gold Coast, all it took was a quick dip in the surf and 10min of sun to shake it off. I've never quite found the equivalent in Melbourne; in fact I'm not sure there is one (no wait. It used to be cocktails)
So my cure-all is a weekend up north; a quick last minute plane ticket booked and I'm back to the Gold Coast for three days, I've checked the forecast and its perfection.....just what the doctor ordered. Bikinis, shorts and Havianas are packed, I'm so excited to visit Barefoot for a coffee and Little St Kilda for lunch and all my other local spots, to see my school friends, new babies, family and just have time to breathe. Oh, and there'll be some running and swimming too.....there's no better place for that :)
