Welcome to the April Check In!

[A gif of someone's feet, walking though puddles in heavy rain in blackandwhite. The words Spring Rain pop up in a mix of colour.]

The world is full of cycles, like the saying April showers bring May flowers the rain in the spring helps the seeds germinate and plants grow. 

Our lives have cycles too, ups and downs. With chronic illnesses sometimes flares and rebounds.

What cycles do you notice in your life?

What are your April plans?

How are you doing today?

What would you like support with?

As always, you are welcome to check in multiple times this month and can answer 1 or more of the questions or just share what's on your mind.

@AffyAvo Thanks for posting this months check-in! 


What are your April plans?
Wow Is it April already! In the UK the clocks went on to British Summer Time so BST (GMT + 1) and the evenings are getting lighter, so for me I want to get some gardening sorted as everything seems to be a little late this year.

How are you doing today?

It's been a long old day! But I'm trying to smile and listen to the birds in the garden.

What would you like support with?

Some weeding and lifting some of those old pots and then fill them with compost ready for the seeds please 😁

@MistyMagic I decided to not start any seeds this year, kinda sad as gardening has taken a backseat to other things a few years now. I will direct sow though, plus buy a few plants!
