A beautiful sunflower & changing the number in the text :)

 

Has anyone read my bio lately?

I am a 50-something European woman doing what I once thought wasn't possible: finding happiness after infertility. While it's been a long, difficult and emotional journey (10 unsuccessful IVF treatments), each day I take another step down the path toward a fulfilling new life. This is my story of reinvention. I will be happy to hear from you: klara.soncek (@ ) gmail.com

I've just changed the number in the text :) 

 

Turning 40 was stressful. I had been struggling with infertility for the whole decade and I knew that if I didn't have a child by 40, it would never happen. So turning 40 and accepting a life without children forever was heartbreakingly hard.

Turning 50? Easy. I have learnt to enjoy the little things. No matter how small. Like admiring every day this beautiful sunflower I planted.

You won’t get today back

I am enclosing two photos from my holiday in Dalmatia. The sea was very warm and crystal clear, so I could swim for hours every day. The iced coffee was delicious! It was nice to sit in the shade of the trees to avoid the sun when it was strongest.

I am still reading a great book (I will tell you about it in the next post). There was a quote: "You won't get today back". This thought kept me busy for a few days .... so I made sure I made the most of all my todays while I was at the seaside.

There were some small moments of sadness when I saw a family with teenage children enjoying their summer, just like I hoped once my summer holidays would be.

Then I remembered the line from the book and decided that I was not going to waste another day on sadness. So I concentrated on all the good things in my life.
