To infinity and Beyond…

Warning this one probably isn’t for the squeamish. Today I had my Knees injected with cortisone, fun huh? As I’ve mentioned before I was diagnosed with arthritis at 21. Its an ongoing battle with highs and lows and requires conscious constant decisions not to give in to the often overwhelming pain. I actually really dislike […]

Changed for Good.

I’ve heard it said, That people come into our lives For a reason Bringing something we must learn. And we are led to those Who help us most to grow if we let them. And we help them in return. Well, I don’t know if I believe that’s true But I know I’m who I […]

Picture perfect

As Christmas approaches and the mayhem descends, its a time to reflect, to be excited and to look to the future. Its also a time to flood social media with our various Christmas traditions and activities. I love this time of year, Christmas has always been a very big deal in my house, from I […]

Arthritis & me – The truth

This week is National Arthritis week, I was a little hesitant to write this post (which is why we are half way through the week) as it does seem that since social media has taken over the world , every day is a something awareness day, from the serious to the seriously daft. The thing […]

Beauty in the Storm

It’s no secret that I HATE the cold. I also unfortunately LOVE autumn, I think it’s beautiful, all the colours and the freshness and the changing of the season. It’s like a nice crisp fresh new start. As I was driving the kids to school last week, it was a very windy day and all […]

A little bit of understanding…

This week was parent teacher interviews. It was also the week of harvest service, gymnastics and drama performances and exam results (for me). I had the temptation on Monday to make this a cocoon week, just spend the whole week hidden away and not face anything new. The problem with hiding away is that nothing […]

Arthritis and Me
