    When do you start your new job?
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    Hi Paula,
    I start my job on 29th October. To complicate matters, the reference request was received by my current job before I handed my notice in (I wonder whether my supervisor is going to send the reference off now) I am also doubting my ability to do the new job that I have applied for. I am beating myself up about the reference thing & everything else tbh.
    I think my hormones have been affecting me this afternoon. I REALLY lost it with my eldest earlier (I don't think I have ever screamed at her like that) & I have been very teary. I really miss the support of my ex, even though I know he will never be mine again.

    Oh no about the reference! Have you talked to them about it?
    Why are you doubting your ability?
    Do you want to talk about what you lost your temper about? Have you apologised if you needed to?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    Yes, I did go and explain what had happened.
    I apologised to my daughter and she said she was sorry too.
    Last night I met a friend for an hour and talked everything through. It really helped.x
    One day at a time ....😃

    Big hugs hunni . Well done for explaining, for apologising and for talking - those are all horrible things to have to do.

    Then you've done brilliantly lovely. Try not to beat yourself up about it. How are you feeling today?

    Thank-you ladies. I’m doing ok today, I’ve been out this morning and I have a quiet afternoon planned. There is a casserole in the slow cooker for tea. I feel a bit run down but I am practising self care. I am working on a painting, I have my crochet to hand and some good tv to watch. Thanks as always for being there ladies x
