I will be eating 'real food' for the first time tonight, in the form of a small tin of tuna chunks, but the significance of this moment cannot be lost.
This new phase brings a renewed determination and re-sets the bar to a new goal for me. I am up for the challenge and ready to fight for my new life.
This is indeed the time.....
Title: This is the time
Artist: Billy Joel
Album: The bridge
Year: 1986
We walked on the beach beside that old hotel
They're tearing it down now
But it's just as well
I haven't shown you everything a man can do
So stay with me baby
I got plans for you
This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
And now I need the rest of you
Did you know that before you came into my life
Some kind of miracle that I survived
Some day we will both look back
And have to laugh
We lived through a lifetime
And the aftermath
This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
I know we've gotta move somehow
But I don't want to lose you now
Sometimes it's so easy to let a day slip on by
Without even seeing each other at all
But this is the time you'll turn back to and so will I
And those will be days you can never recall
And so we embrace again behind the dunes
This beach is so cold on winter afternoons
Ah, but holding you close is like holding the summer sun
I'm warm from the memory of days to come
This is the time to remember
'Cause it will not last forever
These are the days to hold on to
'Cause we won't although we'll want to
This is the time
But time is gonna change
You've given me the best of you
But now I need the rest of you

Hi John,
I wanted to congratulate you firstly for achieving so much. I have silently followed your journey, whilst making the trip myself. I am about to enter the management phase too and feel the same worries and concerns that you do. We have come so far and shown determination, I'm sure we'll maintain what we've toiled so hard to achieve. Good luck and well done and thank you so much for sharing your journey so far.
Dear kind person
Thank you so much for your lovely comments and supportive words. I wish you well on your own journey and please don’t be shy, let me know how you do.
We are all on this earth for a short time and helping others who are trying to help themselves is one of life's little pleasures.
Good luck to you and keep it up.
Have a great 'protein filled' Christmas :-)
John
