I will look back and laugh Today, we have another inspirational post from contributor, Stephanie Carfrae. She is a Creative Writing Graduate; you can find her own blog  at   www.stephcarfrae.blogspot.co.uk   and I think you will be inspired by Stephanie's  first video on  YouTube   'I will look back at this time and laugh.

Those Days When You Wish You Had Stayed In bed Sometimes I think everyone has an allotted  share of happy times and unhappy times.  In reality we all seem to get a mixture. There are times in our lives when most, if not all, of life seems to be going well; we feel fit, we have someone to love who loves us back, we have work to that satisfies us and enough money to do the things that really matter to us.
