Trying to be light minded.

​I try to be a optimist 
Trying to see the good from others,
But then again we are all so different, where uniquely we all have our strengths and weaknesses
Yet we try to stay strong and see the truth from the light
Be prepared nothing goes the way it should, as in you there is plenty of fight. 

Be kind to you, the struggles shall always be there
The strength you deliver at the gym or when you go for a strong walk
Shan’t go unnoticed but the journey should never hit a wall.

We can’t judge, that job belongs to God,
None of us can be perfect, or aim for that all the time
That is an impossibility as hope through Jesus shall always entwine. 

Be kind to you, and if you are? Then good..
There will be roads you won’t know what you shall reach until the end,
The best version of you is waiting to come across.. You should believe.. my fair weather friend.

Happy Birthday Kelsey….

​Happy birthday Kelsey
A celebration that can’t go unrecognised on this day,
May all your efforts and determination is a wonderful benchmark for the following words that I choose to say.

A mother to beautiful children 
Who may sometimes drive you up the wall.. 
and a lover of dogs, and where a new addition has entered into the family named ‘Ruby’
A doting beautiful pup
Which is like you on your journey, is to take accountability and choose….never to give up.

The care is evident to see
Looking out for others and giving a loving shoulder to cry on,
You are a wonderful soul whom we are blessed to have in our lives
Chairing with love, warmth and in the battle to remove forthcoming strife. 

You are blessing
As a birthday celebration belongs to you, 
As hopes, blessings and kindness is never away once we have Kelsey to guide us towards the ‘winning clue’.

“Happy birthday Kelsey… have a great one….”

Decision for the next insulin pump

​Hello diabetes world
Making the decision for what we choose for the next insulin pump?
The decision is never easy to choose,
Looking at the algorithm and how much insulin shall run loose.

There are the calculations 
And it’s not about the BMI ratio;
Even if it comes as disguised as a high pitched radio.

For me it has to be light and easy to manage,
And untangling the cannula from the waist high,
This device needs practicality without the element of a surprise. 

So thank you medical team for being a great support,
Especially for the DAFNE principles which I’ve eventually been taught, 
So prayers will find a cure one day
And that hypos and hypers shall permanently stay away.

So do I go for the Omnipod 5, Dana 1 or Ypso pumps? 
Difficult decisions we with type 1 and 2 we need to make,
Yet I thank the team at Kings for funding the device we choose to take.

129 Bus

​The 129 bus 
The start of a recovering journey,
The peace and the stillness from this time that’s truly worthy. 

The 129 bus
Saved someone I love,
I didn’t know them back then,
God was working in them, my broken Christian girlfriend. 

They were suffering inside,
Fighting something they never thought they could get away from,
Wondering how they got to this place in the first place, when before they were strong.

You see God puts you in places that he knows is for your best, 
Even though it doesn’t make sense at the time, the outcome brings you to confess.

Haven’t we all been there…..

​You look at your life and wonder what has happened?
I am speaking of wins, losses and everything that posed a strain
But you have the emotional tools and the temperament to refrain

You are pretty awesome, 
Please accept that with grace and almighty love, 
There are plenty of positive words that I shall conjure up and it comes from the heavens above.

You will ask questions, 
You will think the system has let you down, 
You wonder how to get the outcome you crave
Ain’t we all figuring out how to avoid becoming a slave.

We are people who are capable of giving love, hope and gifts beyond our wildest imagination 
So see the worth you provide, despite this world feeling quite unstable.

Connecting love

​Connecting is humble
It can be political, along with a trace of Sport
It’s a release of humility which honestly can’t always be taught. 

Love is in friendship 
True to one’s heart, 
Isn’t life challenging enough? 
So show love and avoid being tough.

Love is kindness 
Friendships shall always form the greatest bond, 
The essence of hope is turning right at the start of doing wrong.

Love is based on wonderful connection,
Blossoming the kindness of love always lifts the soul, 
This is the best place we are all able to go.

“Happy Valentine…14th February xx”

The first step

​The first step is the hardest
As the brain can often trick,
You follow a road of asking ‘why’, which you cannot depict. 

Be positive 
Be humble 
This is a new chapter which now awaits
The other road that you walk won’t be a promising fate. 

Look at yourself, questions you are unable to answer to how you got to this place,
Through all the good will in the world the addiction is difficult to trance. 

Attending AA or SMART meetings, the ‘safe space’ you often find,
It’s that simple analogy to be kind to yourself.. such a simple solution which should enter the mind.
