Gotta smile through the hard times

51.

Hello my loves, I know I know, it feels like forever! After my post 50 my mind has been a little bit all over the place...

Firstly though let me just tell you who I'm listening too, James Bay, he is without a doubt becoming one of my favourite singers! I'm listening to the song Let It Go and NO it's not a cover of that bloody Frozen song! But please please go listen to him, he's slightly beautiful.

I'm sitting here with my super duper lovely blanket wrapped around me to keep me warm but I find, I don't know if others will as well but I get all snuggled and warm and then all of a sudden I become so uncomfortable I need to move meaning the blanket moves and I become cold again, or I end up needing a wee *giggle*. 

So, I guess I should explain my absence? Post 50 was pretty intense and open for me to write, giving you all an update on Dad, well a few people told me that it upset them, or it made them cry etc and I felt bad for doing that. I never want what I write to upset people emotionally but I know that the things I write are very honest and personal so for those who read each one I guess it maybe feels like they are living this all with me. So because since that post I have been in a negative place mentally I haven't wanted to write to you my loves, I don't want to seem like a very negative person, it's just at this moment in my life things are cloudy.

I do have something exciting happening at the moment which is making me see positivity, it's just very stressful, but I will tell you more when it's a definite :D 

:)

I just had a slight brainwave! This may apply to some of you with any problems you are having. Even though I have something in my life that is truly breaking my heart, makes me cry, makes me angry and frustrated it is also filling my life with love, support, memories and strength. It is making me realise what is important and what isn't. 

My Dad may not be able to communicate in a way I can understand now but he can still smile, he can still laugh, he manages to say I Love You at the end of every phone call the same phone call mainly made up of random noises and slurs. He is unable to use his hands, he struggles with his incredibly weak arms but he can still hug, he is able to feel our love with one big squeeze. 

MND can take so much away but it can't take away the feeling of love. 

Things are tough in life, some things happen to us that we wish wouldn't but we should make it our goal to try and see the positive elements which are sometimes hidden in the gloomy cloud. They're there somewhere I promise. 

It could be something as simple as ducks

Much love

  2. Hi ha Beth,
    Even if your posts bring a lump to my throat, I still thank you from the bottom of my heart, for every single word. You are an amazing blogger, who tells us all the struggles that my "up north" family are dealing with.
    You are amazing and brave and kind, but your music taste leads a lot to be desired hee hee
    Much love, your cuz

My letter to MND

22. Dear you, I want to start off by saying I don't like you. From the day we have met all you have done is cause pain, you have caused misery! That is all you do for everyone you meet. You find them at their best and demolish their whole being. You break them down to the point where there is no fight left, but they will fight you until the very end knowing they will never win. One day they will win, one day we will all break YOU down so you're not here any more. None of us like you, but you bring us all closer together. You make us realise that we can't go on just floating by, you make us realise that time is the most precious thing any one in the world has got! And with that precious time we have to make as many wonderful memories possible, we have to tackle all the hurdles you throw at us so that you know we will stick together and fight you. I have the displeasure of knowing you, so many others have the displeasure of living  with you. For those I can't i

Arsenal, Tears and Happiness!

26. We meet again my loves, how ya diddling? I'm good, I have two weeks off work now :D nothing major is planned...oh wait HARRY POTTER STUDIOS and bonfire night, I love bonfire night, the magic of the fireworks and sparklers is just so beautiful. I will definitely try and get some pictures of the fireworks and sparklers of the bonfire I'm planning on going too.  Is it just in the UK we celebrate bonfire night?  I'm currently listening Marmozets - Captivate You, I've heard this band quite a lot on Kerrang radio and just love this song, it gets me bouncing around in my seat. I downloaded their album and it's pretty belting I have to say! It was on repeat everyday this past week on the bus, a definite boost before work.  I don't know if I told you guys that my Dads best friend, Steve, contacted Arsenal (my Dad is obsessed) and explained his situation and how much he loves the team and always has done, and they wrote him back to say they would send Dad a si

This may upset you...

50. Hello my loves. WOW we've made it to the fiftieth blog post, if you're reading this one and you've read all of the ones before, thank you for sticking with me and my public diary entries. If you are new to my posts then Hello and welcome to my life, my little world of, well, I'm not to sure...this. I'm listening and watching Sia - Elastic Heart, I absolutely love this song and I love the video! It's so incredibly powerful , I watch it without knowing what it is that is keeping me so drawn to it (maybe Shia's body...) but seriously please go and watch it, don't read the comments of the video if it's the first time you're watching it and let me know what you believe it is portraying. I won't tell you what I believe because I don't want my view to alter what you may initially feel.      I feel like it might be a good time to update you guys on my Dad. By the way, everything I write is solely my feelings and from my point of vie
