adidas WOMEN'S 5K CHALLENGE 2009

I am very excited to be involved with Bliss and to be doing this 'WALK!'
I have known about Bliss for some time but have got to know more through my friends I have 'met' on Twitter.
I am now part of a team called #Bliss Twits! It is a group of ladies who are on Twitter and are involved with Bliss in some way. Anyone doing the run can choose a charity of their choice! I am just very happy to be able to do something for others to give them support when they most need it.
As a Christian God called us to help others, so in doing this 'walk' I hope that fulfils a part of what God has planned for me.

Monday 25th May 2009

This photo was taken last August it shows from L-R me, Paul (son in law) Christopher (my grandson) and Georgie ( my daughter). It was a very warm day and we went for a walk around a country park close to where they live in Staveley near Chesterfield. We took a picnic and it was great!

Today is the late May bank holiday and it is very cloudy and dull! Yesterday was gorgeous and after a morning in church then dinner, I sat outside for an hour or so. What a difference a day makes! Today I had planned to walk next to the River Trent, take photos and eat Ice cream! I could go but I am thinking it is going to pour with rain any time now!

Tomorrow it is back to work as usual!

Forget the time!

It's the start of another week and I still don't know where the time goes to! I find myself getting very tired and yet I feel as though I have not done much! In reality I have usually spent a whole day doing something! On a week day I will have been very busy at work and at the weekends it is a combination of housework, shopping, being on the PC, cooking and going to church! Then the whole thing starts again!!! I don't seem to have much time to visit people or talk on the phone as the time is taken up with everything else!
I think it would be nice to be on a tropical Island and be totally relaxed and not think about clocks! I can't see me going to a tropical Island anytime soon....unless God has a plan!......

When I was a child

Look at me! I think I am about 5 here! We lived in a little terraced house. The days seemed long and endless. I remember long hot sunny summers and storms at night that were very frightening. I thought school days would go on for ever! We would go for Sunday tea at Grandmas (mostly I was already there!) or my aunts house, where I remember eating sandwiches,crisps and Jelly and Ice cream for 'afters'!

I am now 52 and the years from being an adult have flown by! I don't know why childhood seems endless!
