A very big light at the end of a very long tunnel..........

Todays priority is my dissertation. I need to complete it by Monday ready for the first submission.
I can't believe that it has taken me so long. I had intended to complete it within a year of gaining my diploma. I had intended to graduate whilst I was still 60.

I just hadn't realised how hard it would be to put so much stuff into words. While I am doing the research I am enjoying it but motivating myself to complete each chapter has been so hard.

I am an organised person when it comes down to work life. I have deadlines which I rarely miss; multiple requests which I fulfil; and a ridiculously full diary which I manage.

At home it is a completely different me. I am swayed by the mood of the house. My energy levels dictate my input. I am so often overwhelmed with the amount of "stuff" that I have to consider about my life.

As a result this research has taken me three years. I know that once it is handed in as acceptable I will want to weep. At the same time I will be proud that at last I have achieved my ultimate goal.

I want to throw my cap in the air and tell my Mum and Dad that their faith in my ability was not misplaced. They always thought I was a genius; a very hard title to live up to. I just wish they could be at my graduation .....................

  1. They are proud of you, always will be. They will be there when you graduate and bursting with pride, but then they are now:)

    Love you special lady, you are amazing both personally and professionally. You give 120% in your work, you give 150% in your personal life. Thats why it is so tough at times for you, you give yourself heart, mind and soul to those you love. I am one of those lucky people and I am so blessed.

    This New Year is a promise of possiblities, opportunities, and FUN!!

    Love you
