CHRONIC
Chronic diseases
Chronic Illness never goes quiet but that doesn't mean I want to shout about it all the time. So here I am, back from my break and ready to share....
For all the posts that are Just :
Sometimes there is not much more to say.
525,600 MINUTES
525,000 moments so dear Anyone who is familiar with musicals will recognise this as a lyric from Rent's most well-known song.- Seasons of Love. So, will this be a post about romance? Could it be a post focused on the quantitative value of the past twelve months? Or will I reminisce about…
A Year In Review
It's customary I always write a post to mark the end of one year and the start of another. For whatever reason, the turning of the calendar never fails to prompt reflection and review. Despite paying little attention to New Year’s Eve from a celebratory perspective, there is no escaping…
