Time's are a changing!

http://openingthecurtains.blogspot.com/

In the next few weeks, I am going to be making quite a few big and scary decision in my life! I am scared, and excited at the same time. I will let you know all about the second decision once I have made the scary jump.

I think this poster says it all really.... the past 6 months I have not been the most happiest about what I am doing, where I am going and what it is all worth?! My mantra is 'life is to short', and life is all about taking risks.... my problem though?! I am quite a sensible person.... not boring, just sensible!! I think about those bills, my bank account and god forbid.....what people might think of me! I know, I know.... I shouldn't think this, but I do!

I am making quite a few decisions lately, that could potentially be life changing... and I just need to be brave! Maybe the fact that I am turning 25 at the end of the month isn't helping. When I was 18, I had a 'timeline' of what I wanted to do by the time I reached certain ages.... and I am certainly not anywhere near close.

Alongside making this change, I am also going to be finding out whether I have the dreaded family BRAC2 cancer gene... Many people have there own thoughts on this, but I feel it is the right time to do this for 'me'. I have been thinking about it for a while, and I think the time is now right. There is a 50/50 chance, and I am hoping my dad's gene's has passed on to me! So fingers crossed.... it might be an emotional roller coaster but I saw this programme about a family that has the same situation as me and it just made me want to find out even more!

So its time for a few change's to mix life up a bit....wish me luck!

  2. I had my first appointment last week, I have my next appointment in 4 weeks time, which I will then have the dreaded blood test! It will then take another 4 weeks to get the results! So I shall hopefully find out in the New Year! Fingers crossed its a good start to the new year!
