Twelve months to the day.........





It's Friday the 13th, twelve months to the day that I joined the happy band of pilgrims that are wending their various ways through Blogland. It's been interesting and it's been fun. Who could ask for anything more?

.

One of the first posts I put together was one about the 'neighbourhood watch'. Two of the people in the picture are no longer with us, having passed on over the Winter and one was never there in the first place. It's a reminder that we are all just passing through, and nothing is forever.

It was also about twelve months ago that we lost a brother-in-law to a brain tumour. He was just in his 50's. Another bad deal in the card game of life.


My own life has change quite considerably with the extra caring role I've taken on. It's been a total learning experience. Nothing can prepare you for the work and the shock to your system. I wouldn't put anyone off taking up the challange but I would council some serious thought.



To all I have met and have been kind enough to leave comments ............... thank you. Everyone I had come in contact with has had some effect on me........... so you only have yourselves to blame!



What's going to happen in the next twelve months? Wish I knew..... but glad I don't. I will meet it, a bit at a time, with humour, hope.............. and a glass of Merlot! Cheers!!


Comments:
Happy blogoversary!

You have definitely been an interesting and fun read...it has been a pleasure sharing in your life, learning about you and your world.

You have been through a lot of changes in the past year, and you have accepted each new challenge with grace and love...many warm wishes are sent your way that each new day brings you some small pleasures as well.

(I hope that my effect on you has been somewhat pleasant!)

Raising a glass of Merlot in your honour...Cheers!
 
Happy anniversary!
 
Clinks my San Pellegrino against the flowing Merlot.

Happy anniversary Ian, it has been a real pleasure so far. You have one of the sexiest bums around here. Oops can I say that? ;)

Thank you for visiting with me at mine (not my bum, my blog) and thank you for all the advice, support and goodness knows all the laughs (not about your bum).

I admire your courage, sensitivity and tenacity, and most of all your wonderful outlook on life.

Delete if you need to, given the bum content *L*

Big standing hug for you, you're one of the special ones ;)

Thank you Sunny, Hazel and Fiona. You've all made my life a little better, so back-slapping all round.

Trust Fi to lower the tone and mention bums....... especially mine;-)

Love you all.
 
Congratulations!
Still dropping in occasionally - love the funny pics.
Cheers!
 
Thank you Freebird. I wouldn't mind having an invitation to view. I do miss my daily visits.
 
Nothing 'low' about yours, as far as I recall ;)
