News in a Nutshell 26
My goodness! It seems SO STRANGE to realise that our little boy, our special gift from God, is 12 years old today.
Thoughts of the Week 30
I don’t think you’ll be surprised to hear I’ve been thinking about how having low self-esteem has impacted my life for many years.
Pick of the Week 23
I am pretty sure I have told you that it wasn’t until my 50th year that I did something (nope, can’t remember what) that I didn’t need somebody else to tell me was good because I KNEW it was good and I was proud of it myself.
Thoughts of the Week 29
I don’t think you’ll be surprised to hear that transitions are on my mind at the moment.
News in a nutshell 25
So now I have reached the grand old age of 51. As a child I never dreamed I would find myself living in a beautiful area of Scotland, married to a Scottish man and now viewing myself as a Scot, too.
Pick of the week 22
I know that here in Scotland children have returned to the nursery/creche/school term but am also aware they haven’t elsewhere and I feel compelled to talk about it a little bit today.
Thoughts of the week 28
As you have seen, I have thinking about decisions we make quite a bit. And the fact I am going to be 51 on Monday - how did I get so old?
Decisions, decisions, decisions
I don’t know about you, but coupled with the anxiety I suffer, I often find making decisions hard, especially when I have to make multiple decisions quickly.
Pick of the week 21
I guess this is a little bit of a strange one, considering the one I posted about the start of a day and how it was, but of course there was a build-up, a particular set of circumstances that led to the events that occurred.
What a day!
WHAT a start to the day….ok, well, actually it probably really began yesterday and from before, too. So, you ask, what on EARTH happened to you and your family?
Another year, another anniversary
Today is yet another day we remember the loss of our babies.
Thoughts of the Week 27
As I am fast approaching my 51 birthday, my mind has began to think back over this past year and the things that have happened to me.
Pick of the Week 20
When I was young I loved reading and would devour mostly any books I could find and would sometimes visit people to see if they had anything new that I could borrow and return to them.
Thoughts of the Week 26
This week has been very different for me in a lot of ways. After the week in hospital, life has been much better for because of how well I have been feeling.
Thoughts of the Week 25
There have been so many thoughts going round my head this past week - as you can probably imagine.
News In A Nutshell 24
Well, I know you must have been thinking when the next “news” from me was coming. I will admit it has been longer than I anticipated. But I can tell you I had good reason for doing so.
Catch up really in some ways
Well, I guess this is a kind of catch up with you all…it’s not really news of the week because of what I’m going to focus on.
Some truths about autism
I was thinking about writing this because I was talking to someone today who told me that her nephew had autism but grew out of it.
Nature vs Nurture
I know one of my friends asked me to write something about this a few years ago but I just didn’t feel it was the right time to do so.
