January 1st 2012 - DAY ONE


In words and pictures this is my project 365

I've just been diagnosed with a benign brain tumour - two days ago at the tender age of 65. For someone who has prided themselves on staying fit, eating well and living in a healthy environment, this comes as not just a huge shock, but as a bloody insult to my efforts. However, sometimes it's hard to control emotional stress and life hasn't been easy for many a long year. I probably won't mention this fact again, but take it from me that health of the mind, laughter and meditation are as important to attain as any physical attributes.

I have thirty more years to enjoy being active and adventurous and no tumour is going to take that time away from me. This year will be a struggle, there's no doubt about that while I deal with what is growing in my head. But deal with it I will. And during the scary months ahead, I intend to blog and snap my way through the fear and come up at the end of 2012 Smiling Sally once again.
