And an update<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yesterday was the last day of my radiotherapy treatments. Hooray hooray hooray. It seems to have been a long struggle, starting off very up beat and positive but slowly declining into a nightmare of side effects, but now its all over! I am free of daily visits to the hospital. I can concentrate on getting back to my old self (whatever that is).<\/p>\n

So, a huge thank you, to all of you, from the bottom of my heart for every good wish, passing thought, prayer, positive vibe, card, post card, e-mail and\/or Instagram. I am truly grateful. Not only did all the messages help me with the diagnosis and the treatments but they will help me back to blogging.
\nThat old chestnut called insecurity will no doubt rear its ugly head but I\u2019ll look at my box of hearts and they will give me positivity.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s new? What have you all been up to? Been on holiday? Had friends over? Started any new blog things? Any new memes? Anything I can join?
\nI have done some sewing, photography, leaf collecting and flower making (with the leaves).
\nI kept a daily diary which I made before my hospital stay. Oh! and I had my hair permed so that it would be easy to care for when I didn\u2019t want to care for it. It needs re-doing then I\u2019ll change my picture on the side bar.
\nI bought a new phone, I choose the iPad 5s because the camera is just brilliant.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sorry I had to bow out of your Scavenger Hunt Rinda<\/a>. I did get most of the items but ran out of concentration when it came to collating \/posting them. I do hope you will do it again next year. I wonder if Joy<\/a> & Eileen<\/a> might organise a winter one again?<\/p>\n

I see my flickr feed needs updating although Instagram seems to be OK.
\nMy header could do with updating too. I feel a list coming on.<\/p>\n

I have missed Pairs so I\u2019ll start off my catching up with Helena’s<\/a> lovely meme.
\nThese made me smile. If you have seen them on Instagram, maybe they will make you smile again. <\/p>\n

We have had this little thing for 50+ years, long before we knew better.<\/p>\n

Isn\u2019t autumn just beautiful here and around the world? Instagram has definitely been a creative lifesaver for me. I\u2019ve seen life continue, seen the season change around the world and made some new friends. For all of this I am grateful. <\/p>\n

Of course I am also grateful for my life, my health and my family and friends. I\u2019m not sure how I feel about \u2018life after cancer\u2019 or being \u2018a survivor’. I have another procedure and follow-up appointments to come but right now I just want to join you all again in Blogland. That OK with you?<\/p>\n

The sky here this morning<\/strong>
