Don't Worry, Be Happy






Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.




This is my first post since November, mostly because I've been busy and unwell. It's sod's law in a way. My business has never been so busy. I'm turning children away because my classrooms are full. A good complaint, but makes the 'not well' days seem even worse if I'm honest. The frustration I feel at not being able to do what I have to do is beyond description. I rarely make plans and when I do I sometimes have to cancel at the last minute and it drives me mad. I'm especially upset at missing rugby games. I know however that it won't last forever. I know I will get better. I know I have people who love me, and keep me going no matter what.
I have learned to not be sad. I know that sounds weird, and sometimes we can't help being sad when something bad happens, but I'm learning to know the difference between being tired, being in pain and being genuinely down. You know, if you feel down or sad and you have someone to talk to it makes it so much better? Simply admitting you don't feel good, or you feel tired etc can immediately help to make you feel better.
Anyway, Christmas was good, if a little different this year. It felt weird considering the changes my family have undergone, but we got through it. My lovely Jamie came home for ten whole days and I did the usual mother thing. You're not eating, you're not sleeping and so on. We all swear we'll never turn into our parents but it's inevitable that we take on some of their traits!
So a new year and a new beginning. Making plans for the upcoming year is fun. lots in the pipeline. Still writing my reviews for thearsenalforum.com and hoping for lots more opportunities. I'm taking a month away from lots of stuff in February. I need some time out to rest and have fun and do some stuff just for me. I've realised that as much as I like to help others, I need to help myself first and foremost. If I'm happy and rested and well then I can be of more use.
I've asked people what they would wish for 2015 and most say 'just to be happy' and it's a good plan.
I want to be happy too, which is why I'm making the choices I'm making. Change is coming, and it's scary but it's also good. And the main choice I'm making is to be happy. And have I got someone to share it with? Maybe! :)

Assumptions

"Beware of false knowledge; it is more dangerous than ignorance." Having recently been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I find I have to plan and prepare myself as much as possible for nights out etc. It can be very difficult to stay in all the time, and I get cabin fever quite often. Most times the best I can manage is the short walk to my local. How CFS effects me mostly right now is in my legs. I can't describe to you the actual weariness and drained feelings CFS brings, and no amount of rest really makes a difference. Recently my legs have been feeling the worst of it, and what happens is they simply won't work. Which can be inconvenient to say the least. As a result of this, I was finding that I was falling down stairs quite often. Quite scary for someone with brittle bones. At home I can rest or stay upstairs, so access to the bathroom is not such an issue. But if I'm out, and the bathroom is upstairs, this can cause a major problem. My local pu...

It's been a hell of a year for me and not exactly in a good way either. Where do I begin? As many of you know, in 2014 I ended up with sepsis due to not looking after a simple infection I picked up, and only for the stubbornness of my daughter I again might not be here. The residual effects have been with me since then, and in 2016 they reached their peak. I had blackouts, occasions where I lost t...

Introduction

This is my first ever foray into blog writing. I feel like I have lots of information floating around my head and that it would be good to put it out there so to speak. I’m going to start off by talking about my favourite subjects-me and my family!                                I’m a mom of three......I hesitate to call them “children” because at 21, 19 and 15 I regard them more as “adults in training”.  I am a pre-school teacher, having studied early childhood education in college for six years. I have worked my way up from ground level to now owning my own school. I am married to Pat, whom I met when I was 15. He says it was love at first sight but I don’t know if I believe in that crap! I just know I didn’t even like him when I met him first! I actually tried to set him up with a friend of mine at the time! He was having none of i...
