Goodbye February, no offence but I'm glad you've gone, it's been a bit of a rubbish start to the year and we've had a run of bad luck what with one thing or another.
1. January saw the Noro virus come and NOT go as quickly as I would have liked.
2. February bought car crash number one, smash! bang! straight in the back of my stationary car (not my fault), everyone was fine but it caused £1400 of damage which luckily we don't have to pay.
3. This then led on to two weeks of awful sinusitis; I've never had this before, oooowwww is all I can say. Never again will I think it's just a bad case of congestion, any of you who are regular sufferers I sympathise with you. It's a real stinker of a condition.
4. The day after I had my car returned from the body works garage I then had a freak accident which ended up with my car head first in a ditch. You can imagine my embarrassment at having to phone up the same garage and explain the situation. My children (2 and 5 years old) were in the car for both crashes and were fantastic, needless to say I am a very proud mum.
5. Finally a lump was found in my breast and a hospital appointment quickly booked.
Phew, sorry for the rant, I don't tend to do this on my blog, but as they say a problem shared is a problem halved.
Anyway all this turbulence of late has led to me thinking about luck or fate, whatever you want to call it. Surely it's my turn to have some good luck? However if you think about it rather than having a run of bad luck I have actually had a run of enormous good fortune! Here's why.
1. No one was hurt badly in both accidents, the result could have been much worse, potentially fatal!
2. The car that hit me was fully insured with very apologetic conscientious owners, thus resulting in a situation that was easily resolved.
3. I lost 7lb due to having the Noro virus (every cloud.....).
4. The sinusitis has gone (thank God).
5. I had my hospital appoint today and after a mammogram and ultrasound got the ALL CLEAR.
So many of my lovely and much loved family and friends have been very supportive and this has added to my feelings of good fortune and well being.
Just by changing my perspective on the past couple of months I now feel overwhelmingly blessed, I really am a very lucky girl. So as those Monty Python boys say 'always look on the bright side of life'!
Glad to hear things are on the mend-lets hope thats all your bad luck over with for the year and that the next 10 months are packed full of the good stuff x
