    I had the worst night ever last night... was awake but dozing about 3.30am when I felt something tickling my back. I thought it was my hair so kept brushing it away to get rid of the tickling. Eventually it went so I settled back down (lying on my front) when all of a sudden I felt something brush my face. I bricked it and started hitting the pillow and brushing the sheets off obviously thinking the worst when I heard something hit the floor. Sat up, turned the light on and after a bit of searching discovered a 'stunned and playing dead' spider on the floor...

    Cue me curled up in a ball sobbing while Ste crushed the bloody thing.... and me then lying in bed for the rest of the night bolt straight staring at the ceiling and jumping out of my skin at every little shadow....

    So it has you when you're asleep and manages a good hard devastating light-tickle. You brush it away and almost annihilate the poor thing.

    How harmless must it be..?

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
