Dear Fern,
In all truth a lot of things inspire me. From the people in my life to all of the challenges I have faced – so I thought I would list a few things I am grateful for:
1. My lovely partner, family and friends
2. Olga, my lovely life long companion who will always show me the way
3. The hope of a new start from a new day if I am struggling today
4. My love for documentaries – learning new things inspires me to always challenge my thoughts and think of a new perspective
5. The sounds of the birds because they always make me feel peaceful
6. Music – the ability to still have my hearing so I can appreciate this art
7. The laughter of my Ollie
8. The hugs from my loved ones
9. The knowledge that I have people around me that love and support me
10. The freedom to have my own voice as a disabled woman in 21st century Britain
11. My YouTube channel – it still amazes me that I can chat to people in an instant that are sitting on the opposite side of the world. We are never alone in what we face.
These are only a few things that I appreciate in this world. I would love to know yours Fern!
