Thanks all 4 ur kind words 🙂

Took my nan 2 get her hair permed 2day o*g 2 and a half hours in the hairdressers... I did not know a perm took that long lol

I'm soooo naive, neway she treated me 2 lunch after bless her and since my grandad passed away last wk I have not seen her smile... 2 day she laughed and smiled again. It really melted my heart. The little things in life really do mean the most 🙂

I'm in a real reflective mood 2day looking back at my journey the good and the bad!!!

B4 I would always run away from my problems instead of dealing with them... but 2day I smiled cus on this journey even thou I have been close 2 running away through the bad times. I have not given up I believe I have become a stronger person. I have learnt alot on this journey and I always say I will never have ne regrets and 2day I smile cus I have no regrets.... I have not got everything rite on this journey and I have learnt the hard way by losing one of my closest friends on here... but I have learnt from that and I will always try my best and that's all that matters.

I still have not totally dealt with all my past and I am seriously considering counselling but I will just take things at my own pace and put no pressure on myself.... I've done enough of that b4.

So 2day I appreciate that I have a loving bf the most amazing little girl and a family that I am close 2 and I love very much.

I am sad at how much time I wasted gambling, but determined 2 move 4ward and never waste another second in front of a machine 🙂

Feeling very positive rite now !

Have a gr8 day all x

If there was ever a time to dare, to make a difference,

to embark on something worth doing,

it is now.

Not for any grand cause, necessarily...

but for something that tugs at your heart,

something that's your inspiration, something that's your dream.

You owe it to yourself to make your days here count.

Know, though, that things worth doing seldom come easy.

There will be good days. And there will be bad days.

There will be times when you want to turn around,

pack it up, and call it quits. Those times tell you

that you are pushing yourself, that you are not afraid to learn by trying.

Persist.

Because with an idea, determination, and the right tools,

you can do great things.

Let your instincts, your intellect, and your heart, guide you.

Trust.

Believe in the incredible power of the human mind.

Of doing something that makes a difference.

Of working hard. Of laughing and hoping.

Of lazy afternoons. Of lasting friends. Of all the things that will cross your path.

The start of something new brings the hope of something great,

Anything is possible.

Charl hun I have read through your diary when I thought I could not be inspired anymore I was wow. Your stregnth and courage is amazing and your genuine kind nature will see you good in life. Like Sue said Maddie is very lucky to have a mum like you. Keep inspiring Charl. Onwards and upwards x
