Six years ago today...

Six years ago today 

I drove a manual car 

Ran 

Wore high heel shoes 

Carried a briefcase 

Walked without a limp or a stick 

Danced with abandon 

 Six years ago I didn't need to 

Concentrate on every step 

Worry about tripping over mats and cracks 

Book assistance when I travelled abroad 

Let energy dictate my day 

Use handrails and lifts 

Wear a softie in my bra

 Six years ago 

I had yet to become Mrs H 

Mind The Gap A-Z had not been born 

I had never been to the sunny Caribbean 

I hadn't discovered mindfulness and meditation 

I had no idea how determined I could be 

 Or realise that every moment should be treasured…
