Just because I can!

I have decided to create a blog just for fun. I want to talk about the silly things in life that people take way to serious. So the first thing I am going to do is say a very cheerful hello to anyone who is game enough to be reading this, and I hope that you decide to stay with me until the end. I will start with why this is important to me.

I have not been in the best of health since 2012 and it has taken me to get to this point where I think I will have to find a job to do from home, and as I am a retired English teacher and qualified Arts Grad with a Lit and History major, I think writing will be it. I am going to finish the history book I started in year 9 about Female heroes and warriors from the Ancient world...and do not laugh there are plenty of them but no one has given them the credit they are due. 

I would love to write books for teenagers and as I worked with that age bracket and generally enjoyed these books so much more than the ones written for grown-ups, I think it would be perfect. 

I am going to take this opportunity to do those task I would keep making excuses not to do because I always had more important things to do. When I came out of my nine-day coma (three days had been critical and they had told my family I most likely would not survive), I realised just how many things I had always put on the to-do list because I always thought I would have another tomorrow. The hospital holiday reinforced that I can not have a guarantee of that, I did not even know I was ill enough to have the seizure I had, so I have decided to do some of those tasks I have wanted to for years.  

So today is my first blog on this site and each day I will find something that should be laughed at, corrected, or reviewed and if you want to have a chat about it please feel free. I hope that your day or evening (depending on where in the world you are) is treating you with much kindness.
