No matter what age you are it is never too late to start something new, to make a positive change in your life or give up a bad habit. My mum is 70 years of age this year and she did her first sponsored charity walk with me at the weekend.  It is amazing how one decision in the right direction can kick start a self-motivating process.  At the end of the walk my mum was talking about stopping smoking, she has been smoking for 50 years of her life, I think her taking part in the walk made her think differently about her own health and wellbeing and swapping bad habits for good habits.  The conversation we had was so uplifting, I am so proud of my mum for saying ‘yes’ to doing the walk, I hope I have her upbeat attitude to life when I reach her age, and also her amazing energy!! This next poem is dedicated to my mum, well done and thanks for joining me on the walk to support MacMillan Cancer.  

Such a Beautiful Day

Well done mum, you covered every mile

You laughed along the way and offered out your smile

Such a beautiful day, to support ones in need

Step by step we followed suit, as the piper took the lead

What a wonderful achievement, to give a little back

A positive deed for all involved, our lives are back on track
