    2022 has to be better….

    Safe to say last year was a pita, health wise. But I’m determined this year will be better!
    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 such a lovely thing to say, Matty

    Today is the start of level 3 of my study. Quite excited really! And, yes Suzi, I know I’m not 100% yet but I promise I’ll pace

    Good luck with your studies Paula.....well I've officially kicked 2021 up the backside.....this year surely can't be any worse than last. It can only get better. Yesterday's history, tomorrow's a mystery!! I've decided to put a bit of AA wisdom into every new day...."I can be as happy or as miserable as I make up my mind to be." If I find that I can't cope with something, then I shall hand my life and my will over to my higher to deal with. So there!

    So pleased for you! I actually think it'll be good for you to get back to it - as long as you pace and don't overdo things. Take lots of breaks.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    So welcome. It's true that you've made a difference to me over the months and I admire your application and fortitude in being a sounding board and selflessness in reaching out to others. Best of luck with your studies. Xx

    I had what to me is one of the biggest compliments 8ve ever had this morning. A family friend popped in - she is actually like a second mum to me and my brother. She was catching me up on things when she started talking about how a particular issue in their lives was affecting both of them mentally. This is a very traditional woman in her 70s - very stiff upper lip. She finished by looking at me almost in shock and said she never talked like that but that she read everything I posted on fb about mental health and felt, because of what I write, that she could talk to me, and that I’d helped her today
