Pain

I did not think I would reach a point in my life when my body would give up on me. I had always trusted it would be there for me..to carry on walking, talking, breathing, laughing, dancing, running...but my body decided to take its own path and no matter how much I fought I could not win.
I am not the Lennox Lewis of fight. So instead I have accepted that I can no longer walk more than 15 metres without pain, that sometimes now my speech slurs as my facial muscles and tongue have been affected by EDS, I can still breathe in and out and laugh, dancing-well not the Five Rhythm mad woman I used to be - more the occasional smooch around the dance floor being help up by crutches or my hubbie.
I ran a Marathon in Ottawa in 3 hours 30 mins - it would now probably take me 3 weeks but I'm going to do one anyway.
I am Tabitha.  I am me. 

Water, water everywhere (Sluis & Ostend)

Sluis on a beautiful Sunday afternoon
October 2010
The last photo is of a burst water main in Ostend...a rather sheepish looking workman came over and said 'nice fountain'

Love

I am blessed to know all these beautiful wonderful people

Belgium and back

The bruise on my arm when I fell out of shower - even though hotel was notified we are all disabled there were no disabled facilities
The bear necessities of life
Construction work next to the hotel
The view from my hotel bedroom
Where I spent most of my time
I love Belgium and Ostend especially as it expands and grows into a culturally splendid city. Will be going back soon on the same trip (but never on a coach again!) so I can get over the shock of my appalling treatment by some people. The hotel was sweet but under-staffed and under re-construction and you can't put a four star girl into a two star hotel!

A day in the life of my feet

My feet are so busy. My toenails need painting!

If you lost lots of weight

What kind of weight - emotionally scarring weight, years of abuse weight, anorexia/bulmia weight, hardly able to walk weight, steroids weight, painkillers weight, only eating 600 calories a day weight, feeling dead inside weight, stillborn baby weight, constant pain weight, society's dictate weight, crumbling bones weight, lack of calcium weight, wait and see weight? Wait a minute.

Random

Goodness me....I've sold three prints! Facebook rocks!
