Sorry I didn't see your post yesterday but what very wise words. We can't change what's happened in the past but we sure can be in charge of our future to a certain degree and make it better.
Acceptance can be the key, it can be a difficult one but we can learn to deal with it.
It's good that you are making progress and seeing things in a helpful way. I am sure you will continue to grow in your understanding. I am older than you and I am still learning so much and becoming more able to move forward. Sending a hug.
I agree that this site is a very positive thing. I was really hesitant to come on here initially, but I can't imagine life without it now. I will be alone all over Christmas and the New Year. I haven't celebrated them for 12 years. 🙂🌸
Hello maby if you read some of my posts it may help you see a different perspective on things and get through your time alone until you can change your life it's always changing nothing stays the same sometimes we just need to give fate a push in right direction write a list of what you want for next year and you are in a good position you own your property you have no ties and you are still young healthy I wish you well and if I can turn my life around I'm sure you can take care 🌟xx
I think success is dependent upon our own efforts and to how we view life
I think since I lost Dad , Mum became quite dominant but with the help of a Psychotherapist our mindset and ability to see our strengths and carve out a path most appropriate for us
I hope you are safe and well
Are you looking forward for Christmas
I will find it quite lonely unless we are put in a Tier 2 I would be able to go away
Hi I think if you try to keep your mind occupied and try not to think and dwell on what may have been also as this will drag you down say stop to yourself when you feel like this and keep thinking and seeing yourself and life how you want it to be I believe we all have a guardian angel prey to her 🌟xx
Thank you still bit of head pain I need to get changed and charge phone up now hope you find something on TV to watch and sleep well 🌟
Yes I've regrets but when we're young were not wise at least I'm only 56 and it gets more precious like we said before the years role by so quick have you checked the latest bazzak post it's off mad bunny I've added a picture and few replies I've another post planned for him maby tomorror lol enjoy your night 🌟xc
Hi R, I’m reading previous messages and I’m feeling a sense of great understanding from yourself and your friends!
So many challenges sometimes and we can get frustrated and feel that we’ve not reached the goals that we thought would solve our problems!
But we are all beautiful and unique and if we can lift the pleasure and esteem of our own perceptions of ourselves a huge weight is lifted from our shoulders! Be your own best friend and you can smile 😊 and take greater care to be the best you can be! You are doing so so well and I’m sending you happy vibes and wishing you all the very best for Christmas 🎄⛄️😉😉🎁Therese
Q what do you call a dog who works for Santa Claus?
Like it! Good morning Roukaya. Glad to see you have a sense of humour! It would be nice to be 51 again but I don't wish for it as I have more wisdom now. Where would you like to move to? What would that place offer that Derby doesn't? I feel that in my life I have adapted to every place I have lived.😀
On a scale 1-10 I’d say hummmm 5! But keep at it hey!!!
I have my Christmas decs up now and I’m feeling better for it!
I didn’t want to last year coz I was missing my dear John so very much! But I’m doing ok and so grateful for my faith and family! Take care and keep smiling 😊XTherese
This will be my first Christmas alone as Mum usually spends it with me
But the risk of the virus so great that Mum has had to postpone her journey
I do get quite lonely but today I had a job interview and finally understood that everything has a reason behind it and in time we all find our path and our place
It is essential to always have great compassion and kindness and to also become what God intends us to be
Morning R! ☔️ and quite dismal here in Alkrington , but I’m having breakfast in bed 🛌 and keeping warm and cosy! I am hunkered down for the present time and finding keeping track on Facebook a way of me being involved with what’s going on around the world 🌎 and also much closer to home 🏡! Lots of lovely generous people are doing so much to help others who are struggling with these difficult times!! Sending you a 😊and 💕
I don't really celebrate Christmas, I'm not really a religious person nowadays, but to lighten what has been a dreadful year for everyone, I will do a celebration dinner for myself and my son, and maybe a couple of friends, virus permitting. Another year I might be helping to feed homeless folk, but I still don't know my way around yet, or which charities there are.
Quite a lot of folk put up lights around here, some of them are very pretty, Outside as well as indoors, but I tend to keep mine indoors, as it can get very windy here, and I wouldn't want them blown away. I'm slowly getting the decorations up, but I need to get the sofa shifted to make room for the tree, and also my sewing table.
I really think it would be a good idea for you to have a few Refresher Driving lessons, to help you get your confidence back on the road.
Not too bad, all things considered! I have decided to try counting my blessings . My mum always said there is always someone worse off than you. And do you know what, she might have had a point. I am 78. Still have a DH, even though he is 82, has dementia and can hardly walk, amongst other things! But you know what, he is still here and so am I, in spite of our long list of problems. We have two lovely, healthy, married daughters and two wonderful grandchildren. We have a roof over our heads; enough food to eat, and can keep warm. We have had a full life; brilliant holidays all over the the world and UK , ( Sadly DH can't remember any of them now) and until the last couple of years have had a full social life. In the grand scheme of things, and compared to many others, we have done pretty well So I am making an effort to be positive and even though we have decided to spend Christmas on our own, purely as a precaution, I am determined it will be a happy one. Sending Season's greeting to you all. Take care and stay safe. With luck it will soon be over.xx
Thank you, My dexter. Been a pretty rough year all in all and my friends on here have been brilliant. Tolerant, listening and extremely understanding , when I have felt really low and poured out my worries and anxieties, sometimes for weeks on end. I think maybe most of us l on here have been in my position at some stage, when everything is going wrong, all at once, and we get so overwhelmed , we can't see a light at the end of the tunnel, and find it almost impossible to cope. But thankfully I hope I have finally pushed through . Thank you all again for your support. xx
