  • I would like to get to the point where I welcomed people who came to the door of my house rather than dread it and pretend that I'm not in. It would be lovely to be able to invite people round for a meal. But baby steps, I won't try to run before I can walk.
    WonderfulLife, I so agree with you. That is exactly how I feel. I want CHAOS out of my life:)
    Hugs to those in need, Silver x
