I have had chronic illnesses (fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy) for a while but am unbowed by them. Recovered alcoholic, Methodist Local Preacher, Tattoos aplenty. Have a 14 yr old granddaughter. Fell in love with NY when I went there in 2006. I practice as a psychotherapist. My avatar is way better looking and cool than I am in real life!!

Football!!!: (To all of you Stateside, I mean soccer.) Have supported Tottenham all my life and that will never change but I love to watch Arsenal play (for U.S folk, they are deadly rivals) I go regularly because they play wonderful football and their facilities and ticket prices for people with disabilities are superior to Tottenham! Music: Clapton, Springsteen, Lofgren, kd lang, Daughtry, Kellie Pickler (owp! there goes my credibility), anything early 70's (credibility takes another nose dive!) Reading: Ian Rankin, PJ Treacy, Mark Haddon, Lynne Reid-Banks, Chaim Potok, Isabel Millar and anything related to work! Love pub quizzes too and we've even started winning!!!

I was on retreat back in April and one of the things that we looked at was motivation and maintaining momentum.
I have some work still to hand …
Unsurprisingly, I find that I have hardly meditated at all since my last journal entry. I am baffled by my apparent inability to do something that …
Had to get up early for an appointment, so didn't meditate until midday, but I still did it! Almost fell asleep towards the end, but nonetheless …
Well, so far so good. Meditation this morning was interrupted by a phone call, but I resumed my meditation after I had taken the call and I feel …
HA HA... See you WON!! Well done you smart cookies.
Training harder and feelng great. Cancer tests next week, so fingers crossed. I love Trivia quiz's. Good luck with it.
Hey, what's the 'quiz'. Something to do with footy?
I was the first US Air Force military child born in Keflavik, Iceland. 1955 was the year of birth. I loved my child hood because there was no mother or father around, totally left to my own imagination. Loved to take off and walk everywhere. My mother was always being taken away to a mental hospital, her whole life she suffered Paranoid Schzoid. Voices and all. She was an insest victim, father the instigator her mother knew and lost her mind, died in a mental hospital.
Military family offspring s suffer major association skills, out of always moving . Started drinking at 10, stop at 36 and the rest is open for more arguing with you! lol lol a whole bunch!
I lived in a town which had an US Air Force Base called
Bushy Park, I was five and this was in 1959-60. Kingston was the name of the next train stop from our town and London was approx 30-45 minute train ride.
We used to go to a larger amusement park next to, Big Ben as a child and my favorite ride was the Water Roller coaster which had a major splash at the end. Loved it! My father loved to camp so we would travel all over for summer vacations, had to cut one years vacation because my sister had split her had wide open in a landfill dump located next to our campsite located on the Cliffs of Dover.
My father has relatives in Scotland, can't remember the clan but he showed up one day wearing his kilt, of course no boxers underneath! lol
Used to tease the Guards at Buckingham Palace, seeing how they wouldn't flinch a inch, like statues!
Even left crumpets and tea for the Bobby s while they walked the streets at night. House had tulips and roses everywhere and remember eating carmel popcorn in the movie theaters.
Attended off base schools and had to wear those goofy uniforms as well, even the little caps. Dorkish!
My father loved a car then called the Hillman Minx. Even bought the station wagon version and had it shipped to France when we moved there in 1961.
Poor car, first trip to Paris a freight truck ran into the back of it near the Effel Tower!
I have fibromyalgia and diabetic neuropathy - which currently, is the pain that is giving me the most problems!
I am a recovered alcoholic and have been sober since 12 January 1994. Went to AA meetings only for three years and surprise surprise I picked up again. Began to work the 12 step programme and hey! I haven't had a drink since, neither have I wanted one.
I used self-injury as a way to cope with overwhelming, painful feelings/emotions. I have recovered and want to support others in their journey through it if I can
Got diagnosed in 1999 with Type 2 but 8 months later, the pancreas packed up completely. Have had several hospital admissions with DKA, which was pretty bad. It's weird on this site because blood sugar is measured differently to here in the Uk.
Have urinary incontinenece
