A new journal but hopefully with a few old friends

I am actually a mixture of nerves & excitement about this first entry but it is good to be back!!! The reason for my absence was for a while not being able to access the site but also because I was frazzled after a difficult few months - Barry's Grandad dying was so awful & then my Dad had a major stroke on New Years Day although he is thankfully on the mend. I still have dramas in my life which I hate being that I am a peaceful soul but I also have many blessings in the form of my sisters!!! Even though this entry would be my 300+ entry I am going to mark it as being Number One as I am starting over - I hope everyone is well & I am looking forward to sharing our lives once more :)
Love
