Sugar and spice

... And all things nice. I have recently been granted the opportunity to find out what I'm really made of.

For the first time in my life I am living alone: sharing the house with no-human-body. I'm a little bit happy, a little bit sad and a little bit of a scaredy pants. In due course, however, I guess I will find out who I AM.

I've started a new leg of my journey. In any case I've reset the mileometer to zero as, when I look in my rear-view mirror, I see that I have always put the needs of others before my own. I believe I am going to be selfing - getting in touch with what I want, discovering and owning my hopes and dreams. Mine. You hear that? Mine!

It's early days and I'm not yet bored or lonely, though I do miss eye contact, and it's just not the same when I tickle my own feet. I've got the dog for company and luckily he's happy to share the sofa and have his ears fondled. But, I'm craving human touch so if some wild-eyed female smelling of Christmas catches your eye and asks for a hug, do say hello.

Aum x
