Today, I’m thankful for my life. For the fact that I’m here. Living. Breathing. Experiencing. Loving. Working. Last week, someone I knew eighteen years ago, died. It hit me surprisingly hard. He was a good man and a very dear friend to me. More like a surrogate father really. We drifted apart and, now he’s gone, there will never be the chance to connect again. … Continue reading Daily Gratitude
Goa. The little state in West India, famed for the long stretches of beaches, sweeping palms, full moon raves and the oldy woldy Portuguese charm.

Relations between Hope and I have been pretty strained over the past three and half years and I’ve cried more tears of that girly than over almost … Continue reading Moving Forward
So, what has the past month of January been like for me? Firstly, I’ve realised that my belief that my role as a carer would be pretty much obsolete once Rune had moved out, was quite ridiculous! Yes, I have a little more actual time alone and India is at school Monday to Friday but my role hasn’t stopped at all. I’ve still needed to … Continue reading Settling Into a New Way of Being
