The Bobbi Blog continues No.1
Four years ago I experienced stroke.
I’m still the same person I was before the event but now I’m somewhat disabled.
Back then I discovered the Stroke Association Forum now called ‘onlinecommunity’.
I began to write about my experiences, opinions and reactions.
My writings on the Forum seemed to have been enjoyed by some and are still available.
@Alex_Moderator from the Stroke Association suggested I should write a blog.
She was very supportive and encouraging and I was given a place to publish my written pieces.
After a while, with a few articles published, I was told that my services were no longer required.
Having started, in order to continue, I created https://medium.com/@bobbiblog and wrote a number of pieces for my BobbiBlog hosted there at Medium.com.
Unfortunately it was not particularly successful.
Sometimes I get an idea during the night and decide to bring it into my daylight world.
This time, I thought, maybe I should publish a version of my blog here in the middle of the Forum.
It would be nothing more than the sort of stuff I regularly post.
I try to be entertaining, instructive and amicable.
I am not the font of all wisdom. I have no instant cures.
There will be no miracles.
However I hope that what I post will not be a waste of space.
Perhaps I can amuse, inform, inspire, as others have done for me.
I don’t expect that it will please all of the folks all of the time.
I hope, though, that sharing my ideas, my recipes, my experiences, my photos, will be a worthwhile exercise.

I am just me, always have been.
I’m not a warrior, a survivor, a thriver, a hero, or any such thing.
My name is my label, I need no title. I am what I am.
I’m pleased to be alive.
There are ups and downs. There always have been.
Recognising that helps put things in their place and makes finding a direction more possible.
One can be philosophical, poetic, pragmatic, but life is here to be lived right now.
There is no better time than this to grab hold of it.
keep on keepin on

A tiny recipe
Put a handful of pasta into a pan of salted water.
Bring to the boil. Put lid on pan and turn off heat.
After 15 minutes drain the pasta.
Add pasta sauce.
Warm through then serve in a bowl.
Bon appetit !!

A footnote
I created a social group on Whatsapp
Its been going a couple of months
I must write a little about it next time.
(I’m hoping of course that there will be a next time)
