I loved this post about a miraculous new beginning from a near tragic ending.
I am notoriously useless about keeping up with things like prompts, but Colleen at Silver Threading, offered a theme this week that was just too appropriate to ignore. New beginnings.
You might… just possibly… have noticed that my son is riding in the very first Para-Tri triathlon this weekend… the first such event in the UK where able-bodied and disabled competitors race side by side. You may even have noticed the brand new trike he has been riding for the past four weeks… And if you have been following his story you will have gathered that for years he was unable to go anywhere alone, without having someone behind him to push the wheelchair.

Hello, and thanks for stopping by. I am Judy, in my (very) early fifties and decided that life definitely gets more interesting as it goes on! I am a wife and a mum and have just finished University as a Registered Nurse, after having worked as an Associate Practitioner in the NHS. I am also a poet and the author of my debut book, 'Rhymes of the Times.' I love to laugh, and I love rhyming words too, so I joined the two together, and my book was born. I am currently working on another book in the series also. I am a prolific blogger and enjoy writing funny stories, anecdotes, and anything really that takes my fancy.
