Calm
Life has seemed to calm and my daily routines have finally taken over my life. Where I wake and enjoy a small breakfast before I head to versailles to do what ever Her Royale Highness Victoire wants to do. I have spoken with her recently about lots of different topics such as the slave trade and things that commoners think of nobility. It has led to some very interesting conversation between us. I personally take different stance then most when it comes to slavery as a necessary evil but I have always seemed to be different in that way. I have also spoke more with my husband and we have had more private dinners then we used to. He still spend s a great deal of his time building but he has set up some time for me so that I am not always alone.
My brother Frederic comes by more to check up on me which is a lovely feeling because he is one of few men I trust. He is one of few people that I trust to be quite honest. He will be marrying soon and won't be able to spend time with me like he used to so I should cherish the moments that we do have before he is married to that women. I know I should be nice to her because she is my brothers happiness for the time being but something about her disturbs me.
My mother has been very popular now that she is back at court. I guess for the older courtiers she is a light of what used to be. In some ways she is still old fashioned in her ways but I have to say they have done her well. She has told me that I need to curb my temper and I will try not to let people get to me in order for them to get some sick pleasure in seeing me upset. I have found myself letting go of certain things because in the end they really weren't worth holding onto. It is funny how a persons mind and heart can make things seem like they are more then what they really are.
Today shall be quite eventful I hope.
