    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.

    You're sounding really flat... Are there things that you can do to help lift you? Maybe some designated time in your cross stitch room? Just you, some music and cross stitch? With a really big DO NOT DISTURB sign on the door? Can you go out to the garden at all? Just for a walk around?
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I’ve chucked Si out of that room for the day - I’ve watched the church service and had a zoom chat with Housegroup this morning. And this afternoon is going to be cross stitch. I honestly thought that I’d put in all the training for a lockdown over the last few years, but obviously not. A big part of my struggle is having got into swimming over the past few months, not being able to go is tough. An even bigger part is not being able to see Katie. That’s really upsetting me

    Can you and Katie video chat ?
    You can go out for an hour a day aswell, keep at least 2 metres distance from others that are out and dont meet in crowds
    If you can’t fly, then run, if you can’t run, then walk, if you can’t walk, then crawl, but by all means keep moving.

    How much longer is it until you can see her? I assume you're skyping etc?

    Video chat, Facetime or Whatsapp are good ways to keep in touch.

    We FaceTime every day. It helps but it’s not the same. And I normally go with Si and Polo for a walk - but only about 15 mi utes as Polo and I can’t cope with longer at the moment.

    And I’m not feeling well - I’ve got a wee bit of a cough but mainly my chest and across the middle of my back is hurting. I’m hoping it’s just asthma playing up

    Sounds like you are really are struggling. Have you told Si exactly how you are feeling?
