    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.

    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Bunny....you know being down has nothing to do with whether you have something to look forward to/how rich you are/how lucky you are.

    I read an interesting article that winning the lottery does not make you happier...its how you live you life..positive thinkers are naturally happier....

    not got time to go into details, I think it was in yesterdays mail, but Bunny {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}mate

    I naturally AM a positive person which is why have the PND florred me so much-I hate feeling like this, its just not who I am.

    It all just seemed to hit me today and then when DH started telling me how worried he is-it scared me even more!

    The thing is-he drive the ALP (not sure what it stands for) but it is the BIG engine that has the 'cherry picker' on it. They are moving it from his station to one of the others (probably Shrewsbury) and so he will have to go with it or *small possiblity* lose his job-which truthfully, really wouldnt happen I dont think...

    yep was in an incubator for quite a while!! my mum was told i was going to be a complete vegatable (horrible word) and i was put in plaster of paris from my neck down for some reason :(. must of freaked my mum out big time (she was only 16 having me) hence me being put up for adoption


    Sorry picked you up wrongly.
    I thought you meant that your DS was 12 weeks early.
    But it was that you were 12 weeks early.
    MY DS was 4 weeks early but I was born about 10 weeks early.
    My mum was told I would never walk :mad:
    This is making me feel really urgh actually :(
