Back from holiday. Eurgh.

Life always seems so much more dismal and grey after holidays. Particularly when you come home to T4 stage cancer.

No, its not nice. No, its not easy going. Yes, it certainley is stressfull. We all have to go some way or another.

So anyway, after an hour of serious holiday blues, and deep 'meaning of life' questions, I have come to this conclusion. Every experience is a lesson. It may not be a nice one, it may be disgusting. But every event teaches you something about life, or people or accomplishment. This year I feel, amongst many things, like I have accomplished something. It may not be big, or exciting, or have ticked anything off my list, but it has made me stronger.

'Stronger. -  Powerfully affecting the mind, senses, or emotions' ... Wikipedia, of course.



This year has certainly affected my mind, senses and most significantly, my emotions. And not affected my ability to fake strength, but my ability to be really be strong, inside. The most valuable lesson in life. 


Yes, being home once more has certainly affected my state of mind.

Philisophcal Ponderings

wow, so apparently you never realise the facts of life until you just stop. I mean really, stop.

So I'm on holiday in Oman, It's beautiful enough to stop your heart. Its time like this, which for some may be  few and far between, but nevertheless are times which become nostalgic thought filled holidays. When I lo back over the last year, I think 'SHIT THE BED'.. That was a difficult year.

Yes, its lovely to relax, yes its lovely to forget for a while the stress and strain, but what is most important to remember is to be thankfull for everything you have, including those around you.
