What a great day.. sunshine, and laughter with good friends. The most wonderful things in life are free and amidst the doom and gloom of the news these days it is really worth remembering the many things we can be grateful for. I like to ask the question ” What am I grateful for today?” [...]

It was my birthday a couple of days ago and I had an amazing day – it made me appreciate my wonderful daughters and all the effort they made so that I could enjoy myself. Many friends from all walks of life, some more recent than others, took time to get in touch and say [...]

Breaking my foot and being stopped in my tracks and slowed down has given me ‘thinking time’! Lots of it! and even though I’ve found it very frustrating to be restricted there have been positives. Having time is allowing me to see things from different perspectives and to be more creative. I’m really discovering that [...]

Today I’m celebrating the resourcefulness of my friends, who have turned up with an office chair with amazing castors so I can now use my crutches to ‘push’ myself along in the kitchen and living room (one is tiled floor and the other is wood – useful).

I’m always amazed at the capacity of most of us to respond to change – really we don’t always give ourselves enough credit for how well we cope. I’ve never broken anything before and didn’t realise quite how much it would hurt! Or how limiting it might be! Going to the loo is something I’ve [...]
