Am I in a different place this morning! And it only took a few bars of a song to encourage me back onto the dance floor. That was some night. Thanks guys, didn’t realise how much I was missing the music. Or you lot. Never could manage the back flips but I can still spin with the best of them! I’m going to take the most useful advice that I’ve been given so far since I discovered I had cancer, and that’s to never stop shaking your tail feather. Look forward to doing it all over again tonight, but I might be a little late logging on as I’m stuck in traffic at the moment.
Today I decided that I don’t like my blog anymore. I wished I’d done it differently. I’m a new person now, I’m me again. This old blog has ceased to inspire and help me, which was the only reason I started it in the first place. So I’m going to rip it up and start a new one! Well not quite because I’m not going to delete the old blog, it might help someone through a bad day. But this is the last entry. New blog starts tomorrow.
I’m not quite sure yet exactly what the new blog will be about yet, I’m receiving suggestions at this very moment. Things like how I learn to lift my spirits, how to get through a bad day, the importance of friends, how to keep yourself happily amused for months using only a sofa and a laptop, how to get through the menopause. It will have sad bits, but there will be plenty of laughter and perhaps some tennis. And it will be the sort of blog I can show to my family without them worrying about me. Something I can email to my friends when they ask me how I am getting on. And there might just be some music.
