My life on a Scrabble board

 A wonderfully creative  blogging chum, Jeanne from Collage of Life had a fantastic post last week called "Words of Life". A compilation of words about her life, interests and favourite things written without deep thought, punctuation or capitals - a sort of written stream of consciousness as if they were words on a scrabble board. 
She invited her readers to participate....
So here goes ....
