Thoughts of the week
I was thinking about when people have difficulties in life. I know it’s not easy to even ADMIT you need help in the first place and even when you have done so, there is so much more to go through.
Animal antics at home
When Maisie was young I knew I needed to take her to get groomed. I went to a groomer in a pet shop and the lady said to me that they needed Maisie to have tranquillisers before she came because she moved too much.
I don’t know about you
I don’t know about you but when I feel overwhelmed I can’t cope with more than one person/animal speaking to me.
Mental Health Awareness Week
On Monday the mental health awareness week begins. And you have to know that, just as the body has many different conditions and that not everyone will admit to either physical or mental illness for different reasons.
Pick of the week 15
You know I spoke to you a while back about what I THOUGHT was my new found love of etching.
Thoughts of the week 15
I was just writing about peace and thought that actually I would carry on with it a bit because I wanted to cover some more things about it than can be done in one post.
Thoughts of the week 17

A fuller explanation of the assessment
I had the carer office person come to assess me. It took 3 hours and went through EVERYTHING carefully - so carefully that we touched on the past and all the baby losses.
News in a Nutshell
Well, i went into hospital before Valentine’s Day and returned home before Easter. It has been really weird trying to get back to ‘normal” life again, but with needing more support than I did before.
Anika’s Pick of the Week
Coming up to Easter, as you know, is a very precious time for Christians. Established at what is now called “The Last Supper” before Christ’s death and resurrection.
When you don’t have a plan B
I am sure I have been in quite a few situations where I haven’t got a plan B, plan A was the one set in my mind and the fact that has all fallen to pieces is thrusting me into conjuring up a plan B quickly.
Anika’s Thoughts of the Week 15
As I have said in other posts, I have been in hospital a long time. And am delighted to be home. But the transitional period back to normal life can be quite frustrating.
Do you ever?
Do you ever feel like you’ve come to the end of yourself and you just want to give up but you know you can’t? I guess I have been there FAR too many times.
