Take care, enjoy the sunshine and nurture yourself back to good health and find time for something for yourself, even if it is as simple as painting your nails, going for a swim or baking something that your daughter loves........it is the simple things in life that give us pleasure particularly as we travel these crooked miles that the BC journey puts us all on. Zoladex injections always make me feel crappy for a couple of days. Today I have made 3 covered coat-hangers - I am a member of our local CWA group and we always do something for the ladies at the local Nursing Home for Mothers Day. Whilst I am busy making these my mind is only on the coat-hangers and the pleasure I know the ladies get from hanging their clothes on them. As I say it is the simple things.
Take care
