The beginning...

There are many times I have tried to start a blog..... every time nothing much has come of it. Something always got in the way, or maybe became an excuse as to why I wasn't trying to make a go of it. However there is something that always pulls me back and maybe just this time, ill actually stick with it!

This year, I have to say has been a tough one. What was one small medical problem that was mismanaged turned into months of misery and agony. I did at points think I wasn't going to be alive by the end of the year. Its an awfully scary thought at 33. I hadn't achieved all the things I wanted too, I hadn't traveled to all the places I wanted to see, I wanted to be still around to celebrate many wedding anniversaries with my husband. Many nights I would cry myself to sleep at the thought that this was it. However after moving back to the UK from the USA, I saw my most amazing NHS doctors (don't ever hate our wonderful NHS British people, we are so blessed to have it), I finally got answers and are now on the road to recovery.

Something that I did get from this experience however, is that I do not want to look back on my life and think what if. I have done some pretty cool things and seen some amazing places, met amazing people, however I have no where near done everything I want to do. As I continue to heal and recover I want to grab life by the horns again, make some changes, book that trip, start that business, I want to just DO!

Just maybe this blog will help just keep me focused. Maybe Ill learn a lot about myself, discover something new or meet some wonderful new friends. Who knows, however maybe this year, life was giving me the kick start I needed to make the most of every opportunity!
