Thank-you....
The reason I walk and live and breathe is because for some reason, you managed to get me to listen and do what was best.
I never ever forget, and though the last few years have been a nightmare that I wouldn't have believed possible, there is always something at the back of it all that reminds me that there is so so much to live for.
And on my darkest, loneliest and saddest days, it will always be the thing that kicks me in the butt and finds another reason, however small, to keep on keeping on. It is like swimming up from deep deep water and hitting the surface and taking big gulps of air, it gets heady
but it is always the best breath of the day.
If it seems that in 17 or so years I have not done anything extraordinary with the chance that I got, then forgive me. I am not or ever was, an extraordinary girl, I won't climb mountains, or swim the channel (well....who knows on that!), but in my quiet way, I try to do justice to the amazing opportunity that I believe being on this gorgeous planet really is.
So in the mizzly rain, chilly and grey, I saw the sun peep through the clouds briefly and bathe the hill tops for a moment in a pale golden glow...and that was good enough for me.
I will paint and sing, I will run and cycle, I will cry and laugh, I will always love, but I will never forget..
Thank-you
