I don’t look at things the way I used to. I am lucky in that I have time and space to wonder, to reflect and to look forwards. Some days I don’t feel that lucky, though. I feel alone and lost and wonder at the point of it all. Other days I feel energised by the beauty around me, and the possibilities for the future. The one constant is my knowledge that there is a definite “before” and “after”… What I need to do is accept things as they are, instead of looking backwards. I want to use this opportunity I’ve created, and then step back into my life with new ideas and hope. That’s why I’m here…creating, healing, reflecting on the “before”, grieving…and, ultimately, recording my adventures “after”…
