Well today I was back at work after 3 days leave with a weekend in between so when the alarm sounded at 6:30 I didn't feel fantastic. However I do enjoy my life in HR within the NHS and at least each day is a little unpredictable - well there is some variety anyway!!

So what was new today? We have started a Health and Wellbeing drive and each floor had a lovely box of fresh fruit delivered - all available at slightly subsidised cost. The idea is that we all try to gain points through healthy eating, exercise, and changing things for the better within our lives. This is good - not easy but good. January is a fairly dull, dark and uneventful month as we wait for pay day to help us recover from Christmas but God is good - he is faithful whatever we face. Every day is such a gift and it is really important that I don't waste one!

Waiting for Alex to phone - she has been gone for two whole days now and already I miss her! Isn't it great though - and a relief - when our child grows up and becomes strong enough to go on without us (in part) - to make their own decisions and learn by their mistakes and successes?

Talk again soon.
