Hey! Why I’m Writing To You
I’m trying to start over I know I haven’t been around for a while, nearly a year. And my poor blog has been languishing at the bottom of my to-do list. So I’m writing to you, my readers, if you’re still there! During this hiatus, I’ve done a lot of thinking. I’ve jotted a lot of notes and thoughts down. The list is becoming endless. I’ve looked at my writing, what little there is. It’s so boring and negative. I’ve been stuck in. In the house because of COVID. In my negative thoughts. In my wheelchair (nothing new there) and in my MS. Failure pure and simple My stats have…

Anyway, before I bore you and myself to death let’s get on. We have a heatwave in the UK at the moment. This is very difficult for those of us who…

How Small Things Can Sometimes Be Huge
And how it can make a difference In my life the smallest things can make the biggest difference. Today my senior carer told me that are putting time in my care plan to wash my hair once a week. This has made my day. It’s a relatively unimportant thing in the grand scheme of things at the moment but for me it’s huge. Back in the day when I was living my ‘normal’ life, I would get up and shower every morning. It was my routine and I washed my hair everyday. I have very thick hair so I would often wake up looking like I’d got a bush from…
