Once in a while, on rare occasions, things go just how you would like them to. All the pieces of the jigsaw fit together. An imagined ideal that seemed so out of reach becomes a reality.
All too often these precious moments pass us by in a blur. Lost in the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Drowned out by more challenging or stressful issues. Life rushes by and the chance to stop, take it in and feel thankful passes us by.
Well not this time. Today I am stopping. I am taking it in. I am feeling thankful.
Bumps in the Road
We are plodding along.
What seemed so strange and scary at the beginning has somehow become normal. There is a new standard to measure by and everything is fine, by this new standard, good even. Until it isn't. Until there is a bump in the road.
Halfway
We have now passed the halfway point of treatment. Hugo is currently on month 20, with 18 more to go. We are on the downhill slope towards the end of treatment. That light at the end of the tunnel is getting ever so slightly brighter.
Running - My New Best Friend
Well maybe not my best friend, that spot is already taken. But in recent months, running and I seem to have developed a bond, we have reached an understanding and an appreciation has grown.
September is Coming
September is coming. Soon the children will be heading back to school and autumn will be arriving. It also means the start of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, the colour for which is gold.
Lights, Camera, Action!
I have often wondered what it would be like to be famous, to be photographed and interviewed. That's probably my over active imagination at work again, but I suspect I'm not alone in being curious. Is it exciting, nerve wracking or just plain boring? Is it easy to trip over words, say the wrong thing or have your mind just go completely blank.
A Great Big Dose of Normality

Well it seems that summer is finally here. The children have broken up from school, the tube is like a sauna and everyone is excitedly talking about their upcoming holidays.
