Many a True Word!

Chapter 1

If you are wondering what a typical year in my life looks like, well so am I!

As you may have gathered from any of my posts from the past few years, I don’t do typical in terms of my journey through life. There are very few things that have followed a ‘traditional’ path, a pattern that has become more pronounced over the years, but to be honest I am glad of that. I didn’t do the jobs I was expecting to, or indeed expected to, I didn’t go to Polytechnic until after most of my school contemporaries had already left higher education. I worked abroad before it was a particularly common thing to do. We had a bigger family than was expected and shared the caring duties with whoever got the first or most lucrative employment going out to work and the other staying at home to look after the children. I was a house husband for a total of about 5 years. In everything I have done I have appalled, irritated or baffled most people I know!

Final Sentence

With everything I know now, with all the ups and downs, I would not change a single thing!
