beginnings

Sooooo - this is it ...I have started a blog !!! 


Bear with me as I am new to this and not even sure why I am doing it. 


No, actually...I am sure - this is one on my list. I have always kept lists and diaries since a little girl - when I was 18 I did a list of "things to do before I was 21" then I expanded that to "things to do before I reached 40" (and that included my current husband !! )


Then disaster struck and my husband of the time was killed in a car crash


I was 28 ...with 3 children ... under 5


It really was a case of 2 steps forward each and every day .... BUT... I can look back over the last 18 years and see exactly how far we have all come.


So I checked out my list a while back and began adding to it .... and creating a blog became part of that list that now has over 300 items (50 or so of which I have achieved)


So here it is....I will hopefully add a little each day ....may go into historical issues - will let you know some of the items on my list - hope to impart some of the things I have learned on my journey as a single Mum, widow, now remarried, mature student, currently unemployed, about to be a  grandma and very nearly empty nester !!!
