    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I sometimes feel the same Lou-my work collegues and I don't go out socially, all my closest friends live spread out all over the place....and I've just blown out my friend that was willing to sit with a miserable cow because I so miserable...

    Call her back and see if you can go round later with a bottle of wine and a film, she'll understand if she's a good friend.

    In the meantime, stick around and chat!

    I get those down days too, often for no particular reason but I can't dig myself out of it for the whole day, I'm just best left alone on those days

    He was on a motorbike....went under a lorry. I'm amazed that he survived but he's been a real trooper and I'm so pleased for them all that he's finally home.

    Hubby has just gone out to meet up for a drink with some old work collegues that he hasn't seen for over 10 years!
