The State of the Nation

What has changed since 11/08/2006? Not much in all honesty and for that I am ashamed.

This year I learned some more Russian and learned a little spanish too. I went to my first concerts and went abroad for the first time as an adult. Since I turned 23 I have lived through a flood, 2 tumors, emergency surgery, 3 hospital stays, an abdominal haemhorrage and a silly number of arguments.

In 12 months I have realised I love Tom more than I thought I did, become more insecure about somethings but strangley calm about a lot of others. I have booked and arranged my wedding and honeymoon (this time it will happen), been to Glasgow for the first time; changed teams at work about 3 times within a year; lost an ovary; lost half a stone; lost the will to live, but found compassion and understanding. I found I wasn't alone. This year has been the biggest life lesson so far and the next one will continue to build on the challenges that I have faced and am still facing daily.

Mostly I have learned that it is ok to ask for help but you have to keep your eye on the ball because everyone makes mistakes and even the simplest things can change a persons life forever.

here's to the next 12 months and the change they will bring.
