"I'm never going to let your negative vibes and comments get through to my psyche and cripple me..." Hello, I'm SarahG, normally odd yet oddly normal. I've been shifting gears all of my life, but I'm still a country mile behind the world.

Just got back from Swaziland, a group of us went from my school to do some work out there. It's put stuff into perspective, y'know. We left the shoes that we'd been working in and seeing the way they dived in and picked the ones they wanted broke my heart. I paid a fiver for mine, but it was like they were made of solid gold.

Sorry Moz, but you're no longer my priority. I'm sick of saying "Oh, I'm so sad" all the time, I don't wanna feel like I have to dislike my life to fit in with you. I've felt weird since I came back because I can see how much I've got. These kids have nothing, but they can smile. They could be dead within a few years, the HIV/Aids rate is about 50%, but they can be happy if they have some food and a football. What right do I have to complain about anything?

Please tell us more, it's so interesting. And you can still be happy and like Moz. He's quite funny!

    Taking stock (Score:1)
    It seems that your trip has made you reassess whats important in your life. When I went to Morocco I gave a kid a pair of socks and he acted like I had just given him the world...very sobering...it does us all good to take stock once in a while Sarah.

    I have had a similar "reality check" over recent days myself and have taken a huge gamble and handed in my resignation at work to enable me to spend more time with the children while they are still small. They are growing up so fast and I really don't want to miss a thing! Of course we will have to tighten the Alma family purse strings over coming months but its a small price to pay if it means I can be around to enjoy their childhood. On Monday they have their annual sports day at school and I will be stuck in the office instead of standing on the side lines cheering them on. When I set out on the path of motherhood thats not what I had in mind at all.

    Here's to starting afresh and remembering whats important.....

    Love Alma xxx
