I know you might not have thought about this, but you have had a go at showing us some of your photographs. They have been great to view too. I guess you had some fun putting them together and getting a reaction for your efforts.
Well, here is a CHALLENGE.
I want you to write something and post it here in this thread. I have been scribbling down the thoughts in my head and posting them here. You could do that too.
You don’t have to be a master word smith and it doesn’t need to have a deep meaning.
Will you try this?
Go on. Be brave. No one will put you down. We’ll be kind.
Write 100 or 200 words, three hundred words or even 500 words, no need to post up a whole book, though.
Short or long wins this contest.
There’s no pointa lost for spellinge mindstakes or typos.
You don’t need to keep to the pint neither, just post a few wurds.
From your own thoughts write now what pops into your mind when you hear the word:
JOURNEY
i know you can do it
Let’s see where this takes us.
You can post a photo if you like but I would prefer a few words.
Words+Photo=Bonus
Journey …
I’ll know my journey is over when going to bed is not my favourite part of the day . It’s a safe haven and I pull the quilt under my chin and relax . Nobody holds my arm or gives me sympathetic smiles . On my journey I see friends , I do my exercises, do electrical stimulation on my arm i walk I try to eat more AND more importantly I try to smile. What more can I do to reach my destination ?
Birthdays are for celebrating…or maybr commiserating but tiday i chose to celebrate. Afternoon tea was my celebrtion of choice and despite fatigue being present i pushed on and went with it…
I thought for a while that things might be ruined forever. I felt in danger, very scared and rather alone despite having family and friends and plenty of them.
I thought people would treat me differently; as though I was somehow more delicate, ‘less’ than I used to be. Someone to pity worry about or patronise.
Definitely not normal anymore.
Then I spotted this pic from many years ago as you can see l was actually never really ‘normal’ anyway!
Thanks to you lot I know I am very, very lucky and 100% not alone.
Ta very muchly

Well done, each and every one, I’m proud of you and I hope you enjoyed this bit of fun. I bet others will enjoy seeing your input too. Maybe it ain’t over yet and a couple more have something to say about “JOURNEY.”
Well seeing as how I can get away with just about anything, I wouldn’t say no to a slice of cake, That picture does look a bit yummy. @christine2@Mrs5K@Mabel1@MarnieT
Seriously, you all did yourself proud.
Wether its in the living room on the couch, the Kitchen at the table, or on a rare sunny day in the garden, or the side of the bed.
My mind starts to wonder, not that that is a bad thing all the time, Ive become used to the fact that I will get emotional, and have started to be able to keep that in check.
Thoughts race from what I used to be able to do, to what needs doing…the list of jobs that need doing grows. I could never just sit before, I had to be doing something, maintenance of the house, DIY, gardening, indoor plants.
Yet sitting alone with my thoughts is frowned on. I apparently need to engage.
Or Im sulking.
Thanks for joining us on this writing JOURNEY, it’s great to have company.
Thanks also for sharing. This is how, one step at a time, we move things along.
It’s always good to get it out there. One day you’ll come back, take look and say, “OMG, did I say that?”
Have a good day, I’m sure you deserve it
and
keep on keepin’ on
xx
