I laughed and cried a lot in 2015. In January it was basically a case of
“Happy New Year, you’ve got Breast Cancer.”
The things that made me laugh which I’m glad to say far outnumbered
the crying bits. I will be for ever grateful to the wonderful lady who set up
the FB group March Marvels. The love and support from that group of Super Hero
women kept me going during my darkest hours.
The brilliant friendly group of dog walkers in my local cafe who were with me
on my journey through the year, always with words of support and available dogs
to pat!
Wonderful neighbours who turned up at my door with kitchen towels, bags of
apples, excess fruit and veg from their gardens & allotments, just
incredible.
Having various pieces of writing published including having my work read by
Stephen King. What an honour!!
The ladies at the radiotherapy centre who made everything soooooo easy to get
through. I have a phobia about masks over my face and the treatment involved
wearing a noseclip and breathing through a tube and holding my breath for over
30 seconds five times per treatment (I had 15). I did it and as a by product I
am now considering learning to snorkel!!
My cats who instinctively knew when I needed cheering up and would keep me
company when I couldn’t get up from the bed or sofa.
Friends who treated me to fab days out, the odd bottle of wine, encouraged me
to keep up with the writing, made me laugh till my sides couldn’t take it
anymore.
Online friends who through their lovely messages of support on this blog have
a special little niche in my heart.
My local crafts shop where we would have in depth discussions on the merits
of Dr Who and Sherlock (of which there are several!).
A bit of a short summing up I know, but Wishing You All a Fab Chrissie and
the Most Wonderful of New Years in 2016.
