I'm a sometimes frantic, occasionally overworked, always optimistic and usually happy person who is a mum of two kids, that give me joy and frustrations in almost equal abundance! I miss the spontaneity of my twenties (mostly my own fault) but I like the self confidence that comes with my thirties, oops nearly forties...

My friends and family, cooking, good wine, photography and one fat, hairy dog fill my life with good thoughts. Bad thoughts come from some stresses in my life and the fact that I have MS. I hate the term 'suffer from MS' but in truth it has a horrible, debilitating effect on my life that I try my best to ignore when possible and refuse to let it define me, even if it does control some of my deepest thoughts and worries. Now back to good thoughts!
