Welcome to my blog. I post on this, roughly once a week (it does vary). I sustained a 'Traumatic Acquired Brain Injury', and a six month coma from a 'road traffic accident' whilst cycling, in October 2006. I spent the following 4 years (22-26yrs old), in a combination of hospitals and rehabilitation homes. Now, I have been living independently in Surbiton, England since October 2010. This blog begun life in December 2010, as i realised that there are many people worldwide that i want to share experiences with. I know that, as a wheelchair user, I am obviously not as mobile as i wish, so, use the internet to connect to you. I enjoy letting my thoughts represent through type. I type honestly. As numerous readers, as well as email recipients, will understand, I find typing to be very therapeutic. Thank you :)

Today is the thirteenth birthday of this blog. It has continued, publishing posts at a range of regularity (weekly for the first decade, until it’s much less-common, current state).

198,723 is the current count of visitors!

Tomorrow is the shortest day of the year.

It is truly mid-winter. This means that most people who read this will probably be approaching Summer!

Tuesday 19th’s news of Iceland’s problems got me thinking.

Whilst the world may be very well heavily weighted towards celebrating Christmas, there are major problems as well. These problems must not be forgotten whilst we indulge ourselves. It may feel like Earth is waving its hand, crying for recognition. 

We must realise that we have harmed our home, perhaps beyond repair. We need it, we must love and care for it.
