Todays guest repost comes from the blog of Awfully chipper, a fellow Irish blogger living abroad. I think it’s a beautiful post, but I’ll leave you make up your own mind. There’s a road I walk along often in my dreams. The sea is on one side, a high wall on the other. The waves … More In dreams.
You could say I made a boob, which in Ireland means a mistake! Yesterday I posted a post by the writer of the blog “Small boobs, big smile”. It was a beautifully written post which she had contributed to my second chance repost. Ironically I gave it a second chance but forgot to put in any … More Whoops.
I lost my dignity somewhere between getting drawn on by a surgeon with a giant marker pen (in front of another surgeon and my parents) and having an unexpected internal scan at my first fertility appointment. That’s not to say that my amazing hospital doesn’t go to great lengths to protect it with their well-placed … More Second chance repost #3 BREAST CANCER LESSON NUMBER 31: WHAT YOU LOSE IN DIGNITY YOU GAIN IN CONFIDENCE
Today in Ireland we are voting on our local and European elections. I have just returned, voting done and I cannot but laugh at the whole process. We act like it is all so decocratic, but in reality, my reality anyway, I found it hilarious. Let me elaborate. For the past many weeks vans have … More Look at my photo, and vote for me.
Tonight if I could I’d like to write a private post. A post to me, by me. A post where I could vent, worry, cry, moan and laugh. A post I would have written if I knew no one would read. Knowing others are reading, has in some ways removed the free flow of … More Tonight if I could…
Tonight as I stood washing a cup at the sink I could smell the fresh bunch of freesia in the vase on the window sill. They were given to me by my husband last week. As he bought them he explained to my youngest the connection between my Dad and I through freesia. He told … More Reunited, if only briefly.
Imagine being independent, financially content, working at a job you are proud of, with people who are your friends. Then one day it’s over. You have no job, no money and little contact with your friends. Oh and you also have a newborn baby, who came without instructions and with no way of removing batteries. … More Are you proud of what you do?
Todays second chance repost comes from the blog of faithmummy. This is one blogger I follow whose writing is deserving of many many readers. It is impossible to read what she writes and not be moved and inspired by her. She was given two special children, but they too were given a very special mother. … More Sometimes I cry.
The weather in Ireland at the moment is beautiful. It is warm, and sunny with clear blue skies. The countryside around where I live is beautiful in such weather, and even though I am living here a long time I never tire of looking at it. When I do it lifts my spirits and I … More Celebrating all that you were.
How do we keep our children safe? We advise them, we educate them, but one of the most common things we do ( not necessarily the most ethically correct) is terrify them. We do this is to scare them away from danger. Looking back I do think that on occasions I must admit I might … More Maybe I went too far!
