I'm just happy to be here!

Although getting up in the morning is often a struggle and it takes me at least an hour to get going. I'm just grateful for the gift of another day.

One thing that my stroke has taught me is that life is a gift and we should make the most of what we have, be grateful for each new day as it's by no means a given thing.

Be happy, be positive, bask in the glory of each new day!

Depression

Depression isn't always about being sad or in low mood.
Sometimes it manifests itself as a general, sometimes overwhelming, tiredness. Or an inability to motivate yourself to do anything.
It can come and go, from day to day, even hour to hour.

I am struggling with great tiredness at the moment but I'm pushing through it, keeping myself busy, giving myself a purpose to motivate me.

I'll get through it, I have before!

Positivity is always good!

Stroke Association Talk and Support - Lincoln County Hospital

This afternoon, in my capacity of Stroke Association Volunteer, I will be attending the talk and support session as usual, along with 2 other volunteers Paula and John.
Because we believe people need support on holidays too!

GMT forever!

The time and weather widget on my Galaxy S6 refuses to acknowledge BST it still shoes the GMT time even though the phone's time has changed to BST :-D

BST

What's the point of daylight savings time?
It's not as though you actually get more daylight!
It just messes everyone about, makes me knackered for about 2 weeks no matter which way the change is.

It's like something from the dark ages, fooling the uneducated masses into somehow thinking they are getting extra hours in the day.

It's about time we stopped this ridiculous practice. And please lets not try staying at BST  like the failed experiment in the early seventies, kids going to school in the dark and increased morning rush hour accidents!

Easter

Easter rolls around early this year. I can't help but think that the fact that such an important Christian festival, is based around such a Pagan concept as phases of the moon, is somewhat ironic.
But perhaps I should look at it as just further evidence that all religions are just visions of the one great universal truth.

Nothing special planned for the holiday, as Easter brings the chaos of the first bank holiday to the UK roads.
Just rest quietly at home.
