This morning I baked a batch of my special chocolate flapjacks for a friend who’s just had a baby & needs something yummy at 4am. I’d woken excited to do the million & one things on my list: take O to the park, go shopping, finish new novel, prepare writing workshops, learn to drive… Then I took half an hour out to bake. It was lovely. Sometimes I get lost in everything I want to do, rather than just focusing on what I’m doing in the moment, and feel overwhelmed and stressed. But, I realise, I never need to be. I only have the time I have, I can only do what I can do. Sometimes things have to wait. It’s not the end of the world. And, if we stop for a moment in our busy days, we’ll find that there’s often time to make chocolate flapjacks…
