Jamie Xx Your car sounds ace X you sound ace. Oh gosh that was dreadful about that man and his wife so dreadful dreadful. No wonder your poor friend had to leave the court house :0( Sorry I never got on last night it was a bath and a book moment. I should have gone spinning yet I just felt flat ha ha Xx so I rested and enjoyed my moment Xx have a wonderful day and THANK YOU for looking after me XX Chloe

Paul Xx glad to hear you sounding your former self. I hope you have a wonderful day. All things come to those who wait. I never understood your post about the song for a friend. I looked at communards and there was no song for a friend which song were you talking about ? Xx Chloe

For a long time yet, there will still be things not to like in time and space… animal testing, war, discrimination, hatred, to name a few. But you realize, don’t you, that only while you’re there, can you do anything about them?

Oh yeah.

We can only watch.

Thats clever Mike is saying we can make a difference ...we have our earthly free will to behave as we wish we can either behave badly ....or goodly .....To be or not to be ? happy or sad ....giving or taking ....forgiving or anger ...love or hate….friend or enemy ? For me its easy I say which one makes me the happiest ? ops now that would be selfish Xx

Drift Away
DOBIE GRAY
(Mentor Williams)

Day after day I’m more confused
So I look for the light in the pouring rain
You know that’s a game that I hate to lose
I’m feelin’ the strain, ain’t it a shame

Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away
Oh, give me the beat, boys, and free my soul
I wanna get lost in your rock and roll and drift away

Beginning to think that I’m wastin’ time
I don’t understand the things I do
The world outside looks so unkind
I’m countin’ on you to carry me through

And when my mind is free
You know a melody can move me
And when I’m feelin’ blue
The guitar’s comin’ through to soothe me
Thanks for the joy that you’ve given me
I want you to know I believe in your song
Rhythm and rhyme and harmony
You help me along makin’ me strong

Thank you XXx

Life has a way of healing my problems with time, patience and a great bunch of friends Xx

Disruption and collapse could not have been avoided. If you clung on to the past or stood in the way of change it only made matters worse. Whatever was lost, it was for your greater good; now pick up the pieces, move on and create something new.

Hello Hope, how are you doing? Are you up to anything this week?

Dealing with the death of a person in ‘your own way’ is the only way to do it. What works for one doesn’t always work for another. I really hope you’ll start to feel a lot better soon.

As for joining a gym, if that’s what helps you stay motivated, then that’s what you should. Again, everyone is different and likes to do things in different ways. I’ve been a member of gyms before and I really don’t mind them at all, but I don’t really need them for the exercises I usually do. I do miss swimming though, but I find it a bit of a faff and more than that, it’s so hard to actually find a pool empty enough to properly swim in and that isn’t packed with people who seemingly spend their whole time just trying to figure out how the can best get in your way. I need my own pool!! I don’t want the big house (and of course can’t afford a big house, so not an issue anyway!!) that usually goes with pools though.

I don’t have anything special planned for the weekend. It’ll probably be a quiet one, but as you said, sometimes it’s nice to have some time like that.

Take it easy.

Hi Chloe - I was listening to that 80’s show on the radio this morning and they played “Criticise” by Alexander O’Neill ! Wow I love that song - reminds me of evenings of my youth in tacky neon lit discos !! Happy days - I was singing along whilst doing the ironing. Hope the weather is better for your camping trip although it was chucking it down here earlier.

Hi Jamie, Chloe, Brencoot and Paul,

How are we?

Thank you for your lovely postings. I am finally realising that I am a human being these days. Yes, what an amazing realisation. Work, life, balance, doesn’t that sound good?! The reality is that we are human beings, and life comes with stresses from living, work, family etc. For so long, I was obsessed to have this “balanced life”, you know, with minimum stress and havighn a good life. Who am I kidding? Your postings and my recent relisation make me feel that I am an actually normal human being. Yes, there are biatches at work, there are stresses from work, there are headaches from life, there are worries from normal everyday life… but this is all part of being a human being. If I could look beyond all this, I feel lucky that I have all these experiences and challenges in life. Or maybe I just had a beautiful weekend, and feel like that I can face the world again?! Either way, I feel better today.

Jamie, you are a beautiful person. Love your kind words!

Paul, keep up the good work. We are all here with you.

Chloe, good work on swimming. I had a wonderful weekend, even went for a walk on the beach! Love the ocean and the waves. They just keep on coming, and never have a boring moment… Off to the Gym again tomorrow. It is hard work, but I want to give it a try. Wish me luck.

Brencoot, I know how you feel about having your own pool. Believe it or not, I love swimming as well. When I am in the water, I feel so free and content. This week, I want to take each day as it comes, and not put too much pressure on myself. Also I will go back to GYM tomorrow, so am looking forward to do some exercise. What about you? Any plans for the week? Hope you are well.

Love you all, and thank you for your kind words. Life is boring without you lot here!

Hi Hope Chole Jamie Brencot and Helen

I have not had a good weekend.  I have broken up with my friend.  I read shoot the damm dog, which is really helping me understand my illness.

I know I will find someone to understand me a little better , with a kinder heart.

Chole good on you with swimming keep it up my friend. That song is on the Red Album.

Hope all people around sometimes can be cruel and nasty.  Thank god we are all not like this.

Jamie u still think of your true love lisa,.
all have a brilliant day

Hello Hope, how are you doing? It’s good to hear you sounding so upbeat. Yep, everyone has stresses, worries, difficult times etc., that is part of being a human and living life. It doesn’t matter how much other people’s lives look better than ours (from our won viewpoint looking at them), in reality, everybody has their own issues and problems, and that’s just how it is. I often talk to my wife about this saying that everyone has their own problems and you just have to concentrate on your own and try to enjoy life as much as possible, cos we are lucky to have the chance to experience things, problems and all.

I haven’t got much planned this week outside work.

Have a good week and enjoy going to the gym, when you get chance (like you said, don’t put too much pressure on yourself).

Have a good one.

Hello Paul. Are you doing OK? Sorry to hear that you are having a bad week. As Hope said in her post, unfortunately, problems, heartache, worries, sadness are all part of life and being a normal human being, but so are the good times too, so I hope you can come through this bad time and enjoy some of the nicer times in life very soon!! You have to keep going though to get to those good times.

brencoot

how are you getting on my friend??

Been to doctors its 300mg of Trazdone time.

Night Night to all my friends, I would be lost without your support
