    If you’re not writing for pleasure, I think there’s no point in writing at all! If you don’t enjoy writing then nobody is going to enjoy reading you 🙂

      Well put, Missus Tribble! And one really MUST enjoy the journey. I really feel that most in life is not about the destination….

      And congratulations on your recent marriage! :-]

        I quite agree – it’s all about the journey. It doesn’t have to be in the fast lane but it has to be FUN! Who the hell wants to die bored with no memory of some great adventure in their life?

        As for writing, I’ve chosen to become a voice for epilepsy and autism, and blog about both the conditions *and* how it’s possible to still lead a fun, fulfilling life full of love and laughter… and I’m loving the writing as much as I’m loving that the relevant charities etc are reading and passing my words on. I could have sat here and moaned about my disabilities and blogged about Doctor Who all the ime, but dwelling doesn’t make anyone happy so I try to write about the funny side of even the worst disaster (like my toe. Remember how impressive those bruises were? I had to capture them for posterity, heheh).

        Also, thank you. It was a truly wonderful day 🙂

    Way to go, Missus T! You do seem to have one great attitude (uh, in a good way…)! :-]

    Hope the toe has healed up, too.
