BLOGMAS....Day 24 Front Page

Both of my front pages 

So this is quite cool, we were on the front page on Christmas Eve. I can't believe how much has changed in a year. You look at back at some years and think wow that was a great year and then other you look back and can't believe so many difficult things happened. This year for me has been a crazy year of really high, high's and a few very low, lows. 

This made me cry because I still have to pinch my self that it really happened. I said to the reporter that I wouldn't need any presents this Christmas because I got the greatest gift of all. I am so grateful to my donor and I will be living my life to the fullest in honour of his memory and I have a lot of plans for the future and I will be doing everything I had wanted to since I was ill. My list is as long as my arm and I have called it my Second Innings. I feel like I'm restarting life with a new found respect for it and I just want to squeeze every last drop out of my day. I want to make the most of every day, because I am lucky to have them and blessed to be here!!! 

Right here's my list of my Second Innings

I think you look at the world with a new found excitement that you can really do these things and not I will never be able to visit these places. I'm just filled with excitement to experience all that life and the world has to offer. 

So watch  this space, lets see how many I can tick off.
