New Year's Eve 2016

Thursday 31^st December, last day of 2016

 4:41pm

Well, as Jo just messaged me to say; we made it to the end of 2016!! We survived!

What a year it's been.

This time last year I never would have thought I'd still be in hospital in a years time...

I automatically want to say what a horrible shitty awful year it was, but even though I am very sure it was my worst year ever, things are changing at last and I've realised there are a lot of things I've learnt this year:

•    God is love and God is so present in every moment 

•    Life is not perfect, and it is not supposed to be

•    Joy and happiness is found in the moment, the extraordinary is in the ordinary

•    People are the most precious things in this world, each individual is a treasure 

•    Even when it feels like there is no light left and you are at the bottom of a deep dark hole, with God there is always a way out 

•    Inner peace does not depend on the external

•    The point is God and Love

•    Self love and kindness is so important- you can't pour from an empty cup

•    Thoughts are not facts

•    The extraordinary is found in the ordinary

•    Family and friends are infinitely precious

•    Feelings always pass 

I think those are some good lessons. So it hasn't been a waste of a year, at all!  However I am so ready for 2017! Here's to it being a better one! 

New Years Eve

It's New Year's Eve

And seven of us are in hospital

We have not been granted leave.

Our options are few

But surely we can

think of something to do!

I suggest that since we can't drink

We dose up on our prn meds

A good idea don't you think?!

But alas that option is out

As the nazi nurse overheard me

'You will not!' She said with a shout.

We settle on a good DVD

and some games

Perhaps two or three.

Despite it all we can still have fun

We'll laugh till we cry

Our mascara will run!

No we won't sit around feeling blue

We will see this year out

And welcome the new!
