The next chapter

My time with Cruse North Wales comes to an end on 8th August. After more than 14 yrs of both volunteering and paid employment I am moving on. Although I have mixed feelings about what to do after I finish I have no doubt that it is the right decision.
My mantra in life has always been "While the good outweighs the bad , hang on in there. When that changes then think carefully about what to do" .
So I thought carefully and decided to end my "Crusing"  days.
I have no idea what comes next. I have ideas darting in and out of my mind, some just pipe dreams and some a possibility. I do need to earn some pocket money for my crafting addiction though.
One thing I am sure of is that I now have the time to conquer some of my fears and also face some of the challenges that have previously defeated me.
I intend to attempt one significant challenge each month for the rest of my life. Hopefully I will have long enough to attempt many .
My first challenge will take place on 15th August, my 66th birthday. My baby girl is taking me for a Spa day to Tresygawen Hall  (a treat from my lovely son- in- law). I am going to go into the pool and attempt to swim at least a length!! I have never learned to swim but I really want to.

So Challenge number one will be to swim ................
I don't have a list of challenges so will decide on the first of every month and then achieve it
 ( positive thinking) by 15th of that month.

I have abseiled, don't need to repeat that. I have been white water rafting- definitely don't need to repeat that! Not all the challenges with be extreme. Some may be simple tasks like making a pavlova- who knows!

If you want to keep m e company and maybe encourage me that would be great . Xx
