Laughter is the best medicine, and I’ve been creating it!

I hadn’t realised how prolific I have been creating and sharing memes, until I sat down to prepare this post. Oops.

Maybe more writing and less memes.

Possibly. Or not.

But, whatever is happening in life, I prefer to laugh about it. That includes making fun on myself and life situations. As someone who has spent the last 20 years living with Celiac Disease & Ulcerative Colitis, I can tell you the irritability is real!

I spent years thinking I was going mad, feeling irritable “for no reason at all”. It turns out that irritability is one of the many symptoms of undiagnosed celiac disease!

Now, if I ever start feeling irritable “for no reason” – I recognise that I need to have a closer look at the food packaging of what I ate or what I assumed was “gluten free”. Because it’s most likely an inflamed gut!

The only kind of crown I need!

Thankfully, no crowns required at this moment in time. But I might go shopping anyhow!

This last week – we’ve all been shaken!

Yes, it feels a little crazy.

How are you doing this week?

Could you please define normal?

I no longer strive to pretend to be normal.

I’m “the same, but different”.

I can’t even say I’m neuro-divergent – although, who knows, perhaps I am.

All I know, is I’m learning to be me: a kind and compassionate me. But me. I don’t need to please anyone else or live by other people’s rules and expectations.

My guiding light now is simply kindness – screw being “nice and normal”.

The Roaring WTFs…

Heading into 2020 II… and each month brings it’s own challenges. It feels like a repeat of 2020 when every month brought a new disaster.

My pronouns: Facetious

Yes, I am sarcastic, cynical and jaded. Sometimes.

I am and have always been facetious! In fact, it’s a word I well remember from my childhood… mum in particular chiding me, regularly and constantly.

So, I do take a serious subject and make a joke out of it. All. The. Time.

I am a Divine Being of Light

There are days when I think I’m just an ATM machine, hotel staff and cook.

What is the definition of “tragic”?

Gotta love the English language and spelling!

I learn the hard way…

Really, don’t we all?

I would to say I learn best by reading and studying, but life’s biggest lessons have been my own mistakes. What is particularly unsettling is that those patterns and habits that used to work so well for me in the past and created my success are now exactly what holds me back.

And rather than just learning new ways, I insist on tripping myself up and learning the hard way!

My face… every. single. time.

How do you look at life?

It seems people have been talking

And remember kindness!
