Once, in a little pond, in the muddy water under the lily pads, there lived a little water beetle in a community of water beetles. They lived a simple and comfortable life in the pond with few disturbances and interruptions. Once in a while, sadness would come to the community when one of their fellow beetles would climb the stem of a lily pad and would never be seen again. They knew when this happened; their friend was dead, gone forever.
Then, one day, one little water beetle felt an irresistible...

I would see orange if a banner was brown or green if a sticker was black. My left eye became blurred and tunnel visioned even though I had my glasses on, which I were prescribed when I was 15....
Am so thankful that my chemo has finally ended, what a journey this has been! Watched friends and colleagues run Race for Life today in Blackheath was soooo hot but what an amazing atmosphere, that'll be me next year for sure.

Hi,
I'm just wondering whether anyone has heard from stars in her eyes since last night? I've only just read the blog that she wrote last night & noticed that she has added the comment on her home page "is going to the stars". I'm just feeling rather concerned at the moment.

If you are reading this "stars in her eyes", then please add a comment, as I am sure that I am not the only person very worried about you...
Hi everyone! I feel the time is right for me to lay my emotions open regarding the last 16 weeks (today) since my beloved hubby Peter passed away!
In the first couple of months I did what I knew I had to do, arranging funeral, paying bills, in my name. Sorting out Peter's clothes, etc. Pretending things were being dealt with in a normal 'bereaved' way, trying to put on an act for the family, friends and neighbours! I managed reasonably well which surprised me. I thought....this isn't as difficult...
