National Blog Posting Month

National Blog Posting Month

This month is National Blog Posting month and that is something we do a lot of here at UK Health Radio.  There are blogs everywhere these days; it almost seems sometimes that unless you have one - you are nobody!  If you were to pick any subject I bet there would be a blog being written about it somewhere.  Here on UK Health Radio we hope that the blogs that we publish will be of help to our audience and that they will give them inspiration and advice.  But there may be things that we are not covering that you wish we would.  A quick look at the past blogs on the site shows that a lot of you were very interested in the blog we did about exercise and what kind of exercise we need and how much of it is ideal for us.  Maybe you would like to hear more on that subject?  Or maybe you have a health related issue that you would like to raise and have us find out a bit more about.

If there is anything that you wish you could hear more about, just let us know.  We have been covering world awareness days and the blog-posting month must surely be one of the newest highlights on the awareness calendar, being as it is, very twenty first century. But there may be other issues that we have not shon a light on that you think need to be highlighted to fellow listeners and blog readers, so please do let us know what you are up to as you raise money for your particular charity or awareness campaign.  It is by sharing knowledge and experience that we all get a greater understanding of the world and the times that we live in.

This week I lost a neighbour. She died from cancer.   She died peacefully at home with her daughters on each side of her bed, scented candles burning, the room softly lit and smelling wonderful.  Her passing was peaceful and elegant, just as she had been in life, and although I was very sad to lose her I had to think about the wonderful life she had had and just as important, the wonderful and peaceful death that she had.   Death is a subject that we do not often like to talk about, but seeing her lying still and quiet in that lovely warm and candle lit room made me realise that death is nothing to fear and for that I will always be grateful to her.

So I have made use of this blog today to share some of my thoughts with you.  Now it’s your turn.  We would love to hear what you would love to hear!
