I thought seeing this L-Plate while walking Prince this morning was almost deliberately put in front of me for a reason. Maybe my folks are at work… Tomorrow I celebrate my birthday, or at my age I’m not sure celebrate is the right word! 😅 Seriously though, I am more than ever aware of what a privilege it is simply to live each and every day, something that cancer deprives too many of doing. The last 12 months have been such a rollercoaster for me. The fundraising and the achievements continue to blow me away, as does the quite amazing kindness of people who have supported my various endeavours. I always say that without this support I would achieve nothing. On the flip side I’ve also had to accept and seek help for anxiety and depression. I finally decided that I didn’t want to keep putting up with feeling the way I was, and to try and do something about it. Thankfully I feel so much better and am working hard to keep things that way. Birthdays for me can be a triggering event, as in amongst the happiness I can feel particularly lonely too, as it can remind me that I am single and the folks never got to see me happy and settled. This year I have the tools and stability to avoid that trigger, and I certainly won’t be putting myself under pressure in terms of must meet someone etc. Of course it would be lovely if it happens, but I have plenty of love around me ♥ So what I am really hoping to continue to do over the next year is keep working at finding inner peace, being kind, and to start living life x So yes I am still very much a learner driver in this respect…
Today I was able to donate another £125 to Monique’s Go Fund Me page from sales of the Life of Mique teddy bears. The teddies have now raised over £1100 for the fund, which is all down to the quite amazing support. The new teddies in white t-shirts option has started well. You have the option of it being printed in glitter burgundy, glitter gold, glitter dark blue or glitter green.
I decided to extend the time for the very special fundraising package supporting stage 4 lung cancer patient Joanna Jonathan for another 24 hours to coincide with my birthday. The highest offers come 8:00pm Monday evening will each receive the package consisting of a hardback copy of Little Wing, the new novel by Freya North, also a personalised signed bookplate from Freya, and a special Little Wing teddy bear. The minimum offer is £30, which you can do by sending me a message. I can’t state highly enough how important is for Jo to get as much help and support as possible… Research is her only hope for living longer, so please keep the offers coming in…
The weather has been pretty rubbish today! No dog park and not much chance of doing much outside apart getting soaked… Until tomorrow x
