Joy

Well hello there!!... Hmmmm, where to start?, it’s a strange concept introducing myself to complete strangers online, especially as I’m not very good at it face to face, unless you have a dog of course, then I can talk for hours about good walking spots, leads and poo bags.. I’m Joy and I’ve decided to have a go at blogging…My life is generally pretty blessed but over the last 10 years or so it’s been sprinkled with a smattering of shit, and at some of the low points I’ve found some books, blogs and facebook groups that have helped smooth the way, so I thought what the hell… here we go!!!

Me:

• Female

• 40

• Married

• Child free

• Self employed

• Dog owner

• Cat owner

• Breast cancer x 2

• Depression

• Queen of procrastination

• Starter of many projects

• Finisher of few

• Lover of Interior design

• Lover/Hater of fashion

• Reluctant, occasional gym goer

• Yoga lover (but crap)

• Budding author

• TV Addict

• Blogger???

I suppose the goal is to do what others did for me, to make me smile when my face was having none of it, to feel part of

something when I’d shut myself away from my precious people, to allow me to have a good whine and then give myself a slap round the chops!!.. To share the tips I was given and those that I discovered all by myself to help get me through chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery, being female, 40, pet ownership, depression and being shit at yoga!!
