@awomancalledgeorge: I’m feeling a little reflective today as it’s a year since my first operation to remove an early-stage breast cancer. What followed was a bit of a journey: biopsies, two operations, radiotherapy, recovery and, unsurprisingly, I think that experience has really changed me, and not just physically. I know I can tend to be a bit over-analytical, but perhaps these little reflections a year on might help you as they’re things that I’ve learned the hard way, so hopefully you won’t have to. Life’s precious, it can veer off on a different course in an instant and so I think we should find the joy wherever and whenever we can. Don’t save things for best, find the joy in the every day and carve yourself the space to properly look after you. No one gets a prize for being the most stressed, or the most busy. Truly living life to the full is so much more rewarding. Try it, you might like it! #proage #LifeAdvice #womensupportingwomen #womenshealth #midlifewomen

Very, very wise words! I pushed myself for years, was a classic people pleaser, both at work and in my personal life, juggling managing pain from severe osteo arthritis, caring for my elderly mother, and working, quietly hiding how constantly stressed I was, with a smile on my face. Then my life took a drastic turn, and within 3 months, I’d been was diagnosed with autoimmune Graves’ disease, hyperthyroidism, on the verge of a thyroid storm, had knee replacement surgery, swiftly followed by a widow maker heart attack 17 days later, a cardiac arrest, resuscitation, heart surgery and a long recovery. Nowadays, I’m slowly learning to prioritise my own health & wellbeing, to pace myself, say no when I really don’t have the energy for things, be grateful for the little things that I once took for granted, and most of all, to start living as I really want to! In my case, I truly did get a second chance at life, but that’s very rare, and I am super grateful for the lesson learned! ❤️

I have saved this post as a reminder to myself. Thank you George. Both my husband and I had health scares this summer. We are good and on the mend now. It was good wake-up call. Tell people you love them. Take care of yourselves. Do the things you love. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Sparkle on my beautiful friend. 💖
