Funny how a lonely day can make a person say "What good is my life?"

I am leaving a tough week behind me. Had a harsh awakening about mine and my loved one's mortality as my sister went through a cancer scare. But with a new lease of life I end Friday and September on a good note. Today, after work I had a serene walk to the V&A in South Kensington from work. Had a good look around an exhibition on Annie Lenox and then came home to watch a great film on the legend that is Shirely Bassey. All these inspirational women got me thinking of the beauty of being a woman. How we seem to recycle our pain to transform ourselves in to stronger beings. The innate nature of a woman is confront, despair, repair and renew who we are. Having grown up in a house of 5 women, I appreciate this strength in women. And as my sister celebrate her good health, I take a moment to reflect on "the sisters around me who do it for themselves".
