Hello, dear reader!
They say every journey starts with a single step.
I’m on a mission to see if that’s true.

Mum's The Word
Hello, dear reader!
Its the sainted wifey again ….. Just popping by to share some thoughts with you. Hope you don't mind!
As some of you may know, I chat quite often about my mental health journey, and part of that journey is made more challenging because of the fact that my mum has dementia. More accurately, mum has vascular dementia - and also an inoperable brain tumour, which has been diagnosed for about 7 years or so.

Checkpoint Charlie
Hello, dear reader!
Last week, I fell into the trap of navel gazing (Not naval gazing, as I first wrote. That’s ship-spotting, and completely different).
It’s something I’m prone to. I tend to live in my own head, with my own thoughts, which is probably a bit of a boon to anyone else thinking of taking a peek in there.
However.
Idle thought and rumination alone will only take one so far. There comes a point when action has to be taken, and to that point I started off this year with some goals and aspirations. Not resolutions, you understand. Nothing that concrete. Just things I’d like to achieve.
So, let’s see how we’re doing, shall we.

Age Old
Hello, dear reader!
It is, as has been noted in previous posts, a bit of a landmark for me and mine.
There are reasons to celebrate aplenty. Everything from big birthdays to wedding anniversaries and a lot of those occasions happen to fall in the month we are (fortunately for my bank account) coming to the end of.
And, my word, how it ages me.

Freedom
Hello, dear reader!
Some things are worth the wait.
In fact, although the act of waiting (and waiting, and waiting) can be a soul-sapping purgatory, I’d almost (almost!) say that the act of waiting has sharpened my joy at the events of the past week.
But what are those events? I hear you cry.
Well, just two days ago, I received my brand new wheelchair!

My Mama Mia
Hello, dear reader!
It just little me again - the sainted wifey …
I just wanted to share some thoughts with you today, thoughts that I hope make you think, inspire you, and even might even make you laugh.
The rankers have had a busy few weeks. Mark touched on this in his last blog when he chatted about a wedding anniversary, a hotel stay - and a very busy and expensive March.

Flushed!
Hello, dear reader!
Well, with the golden anniversary of my sainted parents now a thing of the recent past it’s time to sober up, refocus, and get on with one of the major challenges planned in for 2024.
No, I’m not talking about the perennially knackered wheelchair (although that is on the horizon), nor am I doing much planning for the upcoming combos of my nieces 18th, step-daughter’s 24th, and Mother’s day.
No, the challenge Is more bathroom based.
