Whilst the house is daughter free it’s be rude for the mother not to play 😉😂

Not the total of my crazy people but being respectful for those who don’t do social media 🙏 ❤️

Feeling smug 🤣 No hob nor oven was involved in the making of todays dinner.

The past 12 months has been the embracing of challenges on varying levels. 1st I had 15 photo albums not to mention a big box of old slides, packets of photos and 12k on the phone! I spent months clear out sky/ground/blurred and duplicates. I now have 7 albums I can enjoy still with all the same folk in but streamlined. Many folk happily accepted the duplicates I passed in. Swimming from Dedham to Flatford Mill was a first swim challenge and such fun. Studying Reiki as a new modality challenged the brain cells. Completing a triathlon was a challenge on many levels . And yesterday doing a 750m swim in London was another milestone in challenges. All of these challenges are for my growth or pleasure. How do you get on with challenges? What’s next for you? And me? 💪 🙏 ❤️

Did I tell you I completed my first ever Triathlon last weekend! Yes your truly who wasn’t brought up as a sporty person nor developed any major sporty prowess, Did It!. Through the support of some amazing Women I got past my imposter syndrome and got that medal. I barely told anyone because it was a challenge purely for Moi for my life journey. This body along with most bodies can do more than we think it can. Have to say the place was just so beautiful really scenic . Alongside these tatty looking trainers ( looks can be deceiving as they supported my wonky feet just brilliantly) I was able to rest assured that the products I put on to protect against sun damage have been certified as protect land and sea products. So no damage was done by Me to impact on that gorgeous environment.

Last week was my 40th anniversary of coming to the UK …. Whoosh and where did that go. As I left Ireland in my late teens I told myself and anyone who’d listen I was just going through n a 3 year holiday of sorts to train as a Nurse. What I never realised was how long this break would extend to. But my goodness I’ve been blessed. From the day I left home I became an independent person , never relying on my folks again. I made my own way in life on my own. That was one massive lesson. I also had the best first career spanning decades in Nursing working alongside amazing colleagues looking after wonderful people from the cradle to the grave. So dear UK can I just say a big fat thanks for all you have given Me, yours sincerely Paddy Irish Woman

Today is World Mental Health Day. What better way to support Mental Health than being out in nature, exercising, laughter, joy, camaraderie, oh and a great dog called Griffen. So Grateful for all that today was 🌊 🙏
