    Hi, just thought I would let you know that things are going well. I don't know if I have mentioned that I help at the food bank once a week. I am really enjoying it.
    We are making a few plans for days out, short breaks etc. Nothing fixed re: dates, just a few ideas at this stage x
    One day at a time ....😃

    It is an offshoot of the main one, held at the local church. I help one lady run it once a week. She is a lovely person and whilst we are waiting for ‘customers’ we have chance to chat about our week and our lives in general. I love meeting new people and learning about the directions their life has gone in. Although I am unsure whether I actually believe in God, I feel at peace when I am in the church building. The vicar and his wife have been amazing friends to me for many years. Throughout all of my MH ups and downs, they have stood by me, being true Christians.x

    That’s lovely to hear
    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.

    That's made me all emotional hearing you say that. I too always feel at peace and more centered when I go to my Church or talk to my Rector. It's a wonderful "safe" feeling. I'm so glad you're getting the chance to do this and to share "you" and your kind and lovely spirit with those around you.

    Thank-you ladies for your lovely comments.
    I went in person to college today, for the first time in months. It was so lovely to connect properly with people again.
    We had a talk by a guy who took my level 2 counselling course. I have never forgotten how great he was when B left, and I took him a highland cow as a thank-you gift. He spoke to us about mental health for 30 minutes and it really struck a chord with me, reminding me about the journey I am on.
    I talked a bit to the tutors about level 3 and it feels as if there is now a way forward career wise. The guy who was from the counselling dept. said that we can’t climb the whole mountain in one go, you have to do one bit at a time. He is right, I mustn’t be inpatient with myself about the future. Pen and I have each other now and other life changes will happen when they happen.
    In other news, I have started doing some art and crochet again and the swimming pool opens soon! Whoop! X
