Happy New 'Stroke' Year

Hi to everyone.

i have to say that 2016 was a successful year for my book and my life in general but I have to admit that I took on too much and by the end of the year, I became ill and terribly fatigued. I hide it well..sometimes! I put my book to the bottom of the pile to concentrate upon other projects which I thoroughly enjoyed but took all my energy and brain power. None of which are ever in abundance!

Here is my latest blog

I am happy that I'm back on track once again and let's hope I stay that way.

If you haven't already, I would really appreciate it if you could hop over to the Facebook page for my book.

I would dearly love a few more 'Likes' and continue to spread the stroke message.

Thanks heaps.

Thanks Sue. That's great advice. I have already said 'no' to helping organise another pop up book shop early part of this year so I'm learning! My health is no1 priority this year. Hope you are going to have a good one too x

I love Sue's advice to do what is right for you. Like Shelagh I have had to learn to say no to some requests. I had a request recently that was well beyond my capability which would have involved me moving out of my own place for a period of two weeks to look after someone. My answer was no I could not undertake it; of course this did not go down well with the two people involved. Neither have had strokes nor do they understand the limitations a stroke can impose. As Shelagh points out priority has to be given to our own health.

Thanks Karen. Yes, I do find it hard to say 'NO' but I have been doing it and surprising others. I have explained why and they fully understand..some don't..but that's not my problem. I have no intention of being ill this year and that's what I am keeping in the forefront of my brain!

Life is going good so far (apart from a cricked neck since Thursday as I slept funny), so off I now go to the pool to relax with my book. See...I'm trying!

Much love and have a happy Sunday :)
