New Year 2018 is coming...and I'm going...

I want to keep this simple. very simple. its really not hard at all.

I want to LIVE.

I am GOING....towards LIVING...

 

I may NOT go THIS far!

 

 

 

But I'll do THIS again!



So what is this LIVING?   Not 'live' as in 'be alive', not dead sort of thing. No, LIVE as in experiencing the fullness, vibrancy, joys, beauties, mysteries of life ...before I die.

I've spent 8 years or more imprisoned by Ireland. Returning home in 2010 I landed in quicksand. that sucked me down, near destroyed me and annihilated ten years of LIVING.

It began the day I 'met' the HSE . Our alleged modern day 'health service'. give me a break! 

• 'Modern'; NO it definitely is NOT, way behind most European countries.
• 'Health' - You are joking, it's NOT health they are after, its your death in every sense, you are wasting the money 'those who get up in the morning early' should be getting! (according to our esteemed right wing FG leader Leo Varadkar.  
• 'Service' - what service? it's broke - completely broke - and the 'power and control' they exert over sick, disabled poorer public patients no private patient has to endure! They would not TOLERATE the stuff public patients endure from hospital doctors (some - not all) or HSE in the community.

So after ten years I'm going to 'take charge'. not that I haven't tried to...its awfully difficult standing knee deep in a HSE CEMENT or Quicksand. (Well its usually one or the other!)

But here's my message to Mr G of the HSE.

1. I deserve to LIVE life in all its fullness.
2. I deserve respect and consideration
3. NO-ONE, least of all a HSE official tells me how to 'work in partnership' with the HSE who don't actually know the meaning of that word.
4. No-one will have 'Power and Control' over me - least of all the HSE
5. I will be free in 2018.
6. I will prevail - I will NOT be sunk. I will NOT bow down. I will NOT have my LIVING reduced to nothing but incontinent pads, Zimmer frames or 'Home Care Packages'.
7. I will LIVE a fully INDEPENDENT life.

This is my goal. To LIVE fully for ten years before I die...

No more 'Heavy' stuff...

 

Perhaps NOT boxing!

 

But I will go to beautiful places - and remember my beloved Saffi and think of friends, of nice things, of PEACE, love and happiness

 

I feel those LIVING years fading and I must catch them. I must grab them.

I must drink in the BEAUTY around me

I must MAKE it HAPPEN

I hope its not too late.

I will LIVE before I die.

But being Margaret still; I will not give up completely on 'Justice Making' ,I will still...

speak out /not to be Silent

Because

 

But in more 'Balance'

 

I do need to find my Peace & Rest & Beauty and LIVE
